Existence alert

Providing continuous monitoring of your scheme, Existence Alert will highlight any changes in your members’ details at the earliest possible opportunity. Existence Alert is the most beneficial and proactive approach to eliminate overpayments and mitigate account fraud takeover.

Automatic existence checks

Existence Alert employs the latest mortality* and gone away databases to ensure you are constantly aware of changes in your members’ circumstances. The frequency of our data updates means we can provide weekly, monthly or quarterly notifications of changes that require investigation, and as an automated process, it requires minimum resource from the client’s perspective while providing maximum protection.

Alternatively, we can screen your entire member database on an ad-hoc, one-off basis using Existence Batch. If you’d prefer to conduct individual checks, our advanced web-based TraceIQ search facility allows you to instantly identify whether the member is a gone away or is deceased.

*Death Registration Information (DRI)
Tracesmart is one of a small number of companies licensed to receive DRI data from the Identity and Passport Service. The feed gives notice of all deaths registered within the UK on a weekly basis, permitting data screening against the most up-to-date mortality information available. Supplemented with our existing mortality datasets that includes historic death data spanning back to 1976 for England and Wales and to 1974 for Scotland, our existence service delivers authoritative screening to combat fraud.
