Revolut has introduced a new security measure designed to thwart the rising threat of impersonation scams, Finextra reports.

The in-app call identification feature will detect in real-time when users are on a call and verify if callers are genuine Revolut agents or scammers. 

According to Revolut, the increased use of AI deepfakes has made impersonation scams much more effective - only 25% of people can accurately detect a deepfake voice, making live phone calls a "critical vulnerability". 

The new security feature adds to other product relases made by Revolut to address financial scams over the last two years, including biometric verification and greater use of machine learning to detect risky transactions.
