Bank of America ranked the highest in identity fraud protection, detection and resolution, according to a Javelin Strategy & Research report released today. The study of the top 25 U.S. banks found that this year financial institutions showed strength in resolution practices, but vulnerability in prevention and detection. Javelin analysts recommend that banks provide more account monitoring tools to its customers and empower them to "watch and catch" identity fraud earlier. Bank of America earned 78 points out of a total possible score of 100. Tied in second place are JP Morgan Chase, Washington Mutual and Wells Fargo, each earning 70 points. Citibank ranked third with 69 points; BB&T and Wachovia earned the fourth and fifth highest scores. On the whole, 77 percent of the financial institutions met Javelin's recommended resolution criteria, but showed slower progress in detection and prevention measures.
