National Insurance Crime Bureau and Honk Technologies will establish channels for sharing questionable activity in the towing and vehicle services marketplace
Oak Brook, Ill.—The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) has announced a new partnership with Honk Technologies that will combine both organizations’ data and intelligence capabilities to combat fraud and abusive practices related to vehicle towing, impound, storage and salvage.
Through this partnership, NICB and Honk will establish channels for sharing information and emerging fraud intelligence across NICB’s consortium of fraud-fighting partners as new issues and questionable activity emerges across the towing and vehicle services marketplace.
“By working closely with Honk and combining information from our respective networks, we can identify concerning activity sooner, provide the key information that helps solve cases and strengthen our protections against fraud and abuse in the vehicle services ecosystem,” said Tim Slater, Chief Operating Officer of NICB.
Working with leading insurance carriers, automotive companies, fleets and mobility providers, Honk connects motorists with a nationwide network of service providers while capturing real-time data across the service lifecycle. That combination of technology, network scale and operational visibility gives Honk a unique perspective into trends and activity across the towing and roadside ecosystem.
“Because of the volume of towing and roadside activity that moves through our platform, we have a unique view into what’s happening on the ground across the country,” said Matt Bijur, President of Honk. “Fraudulent and predatory practices hurt motorists and insurers, but they also hurt the reputation and livelihood of honest, hardworking service providers doing things the right way.
“Our partnership with NICB gives us a way to turn what we’re seeing into actionable intelligence that can help root out bad actors and protect the broader towing and roadside ecosystem.”
