Sumeria lance les appels in-app pour lutter contre la fraude au faux conseiller bancaire 05/06/2025 Face à la recrudescence des fraudes par usurpation d’identité bancaire, Sumeria, l’application de services bancaires de Lydia Solutions, déploie une nouvelle fonctionnalité : les appels in-app. Cette technologie permet aux clients de dialoguer directement avec un conseiller depuis l’application, dans un environnement totalement sécurisé. La fraude au faux conseiller représente chaque année un préjudice estimé à 360 millions d’euros en France. En réponse, Sumeria renforce son arsenal de sécurité, déjà pionnier avec l’authentification silencieuse, en combinant ces deux dispositifs. « La sensibilisation ne suffit clairement plus face à la sophistication des nouvelles méthodes d’usurpation. Je suis fier que Sumeria soit le fer de lance de ce combat et j’invite toutes les banques opérant sur le territoire français à nous suivre dans la mise en œuvre de telles mesures, afin de relever collectivement le niveau de protection contre la fraude bancaire. » Un canal sécurisé impossible à imiter Avec ce nouveau système, un conseiller ne peut plus contacter un client que depuis l’application, rendant toute tentative de fraude externe identifiable. Un message clair est affiché : “Si vous recevez un sms ou un appel téléphonique au nom de Sumeria, c’est un fraudeur.” Cette initiative positionne Sumeria comme l’une des offres bancaires les plus sécurisées contre les fraudes basées sur la manipulation. À propos de Lydia Solutions Fondée en 2011, Lydia Solutions est l’entreprise française derrière les services Lydia (application de paiement et de cagnottes) et Sumeria (application de services bancaires pour les particuliers, notamment un compte courant rémunéré). Avec ses 250 collaborateurs basés à Paris, Nantes, Bordeaux et Lyon, Lydia Solutions s’est fixée pour mission de changer les codes de la banque avec une approche essentialiste qui vise l’épanouissement de ses clients. Acteur majeur du secteur de la finance technologique tricolore, listée dans le FT120, l’entreprise est soutenue par des investisseurs internationaux tels que Accel, Tencent, XAnge, New Alpha, Groupe Duval et Founders Future, auprès desquels elle a levé 235 M€.
