The upcoming new Intelligence Database for our NAFN members – part of our new NAFN system.
In the world of fraud detection and investigation, time matters. What previously required weeks, sometimes even months, of enquiry requests, checks, back-and-forth contact, or repetitive and duplicated work – can now be achieved in minutes.
We are pleased to announce the potent value of our new NAFN Intelligence Database: which is a key part of our current digital transformation – built in, designed, and underpinned to dramatically save time, reduce effort, and aid collaboration.
And empowering investigators to act faster than ever before.
A Significant Game-Changer
Like most things with the digital transformation of NAFN’s system, this is more than an upgrade.
It’s an integral part of a substantial step-change. A Smarter, Easier, Faster, Intuitive era of data intelligence for investigating, combatting and preventing fraud. Powered by NAFN’s platform, with the addition of harnessing AI, APIs, automation, and compliant intelligence data.
We cannot emphasise enough just what a game-changer this will be.
Instant Insight That Once Took Months
Where the current process might involve sending several enquiries and waiting weeks for responses, the new solution can provide immediate alerts when a match is found.
One match can mean:
- Weeks, even months, of investigation saved
- Saving time, resources, and admin load
- Further safeguarding of public funds
- Faster prevention of fraud before it escalates
As one of our member user testers put it:

This is the power of connected intelligence.
Secure, Compliant, and Fully Controlled
We know that intelligence sharing must be both responsible and compliant. That’s why the system has been built within a strict, legally compliant framework, with:
- Role-based access
- Clear data-retention safeguards
- Strict controls around what intelligence is surfaced
- The ability for members to opt out of intelligence matching, if required
Every aspect of this system has been designed to ensure that information is used appropriately, proportionally and securely.
A Major Step Forward for Our Members
The new Intelligence Database is a significant investment in:
- Faster access to high-value intelligence
- Better collaboration between authorities
- Reduced pressure on investigative resources
- Stronger, more proactive fraud prevention
Most importantly, it reinforces our commitment to supporting NAFN members with modern, intuitive and future-ready tools that truly make a difference.
Smarter investigations start here.
