Halo™ Dataset Surpasses 15 Million UK Records

Landmark milestone reinforces Halo's position as a leading solution for deceased identity fraud prevention

Halo™ the trusted choice for all UK fraud prevention deceased fraud prevention dataset has surpassed 15 million UK deceased records, marking a significant milestone in the continued fight against identity fraud and financial crime. Halo is trusted by organisations across financial services, credit reference, identity verification, insurance, government and compliance sectors to help identify cases where deceased identities may be used fraudulently.  

With more than two decades of mortality data and over 20 billion searches performed since launch, Halo has become one of the UK's most widely relied upon deceased fraud prevention solutions. The dataset helps organisations identify deceased individuals early in customer onboarding, verification, compliance and account monitoring processes, enabling informed decisions and helping to reduce fraud risk.  

A Growing Challenge for UK Organisations 

The misuse of deceased identities continues to present a significant challenge for organisations responsible for protecting customers, preventing fraud and meeting regulatory obligations. Fraudsters often seek to exploit the details of deceased individuals to open accounts, access services or commit financial crime. 

As organisations face increasing pressure to strengthen identity verification, anti-money laundering controls and customer due diligence processes, access to accurate and up-to-date mortality data has become a critical component of effective fraud prevention strategies.

Unlike generic mortality sources, Halo has been developed specifically to support fraud prevention, identity verification and risk management processes. 

Today, the Halo dataset: 

• Contains more than 15 million deceased records 

• Receives approximately 10,000 new notifications every week 

• Covers over two decades of UK mortality data 

• Is trusted by major UK credit reference agencies, financial institutions and fraud prevention specialists
