ATO losses are outpacing new account fraud 2.5 to 1 — and the exposure isn't just at login.

In 2025, account takeover rose to 3.14% of all digital fraud reported to TransUnion, a 37% jump over the prior year. The FBI logged more than 5,100 ATO complaints in just the first ten months of 2025, with losses topping $262 million. ATO is no longer a login problem — it's a lifecycle problem that follows the customer across every channel, and most institutions are only defending one or two of the three highest-risk points.
