#### _Strengthening Deepfake Fraud Detection, Unlocking Potential of GenA.I._

HONG KONG SAR – [Media OutReach Newswire](https://www.media-outreach.com/) – 15 
October 2026 – Ping An Digital Bank (International) Limited (“Ping An Digital Bank”/“
PingAnDB”) has successfully completed the “Anti-Fraud Strategy Platform” use case
as part of the second cohort of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s (“HKMA”) Generative
Artificial Intelligence (“GenA.I.”) Sandbox, in partnership with Hong Kong Cyberport
Management Company Limited. Through the sandbox, Ping An Digital Bank further strengthened
its capabilities in detecting deepfake-related fraud, and explored the potential
of an “A.I. vs A.I.” defense strategy, sharpening its fraud detection accuracy and
enhancing customer protection.

 **Mr. Ronald Iu, Chief Executive of Ping An Digital Bank**, said, “Ping An Digital
Bank is honoured to participate in the HKMA’s second GenA.I. Sandbox cohort. The
sandbox serves as an invaluable testing ground for banks to explore financial technology.
Throughout the process, we received valuable guidance from the HKMA and shared practical
experience with industry peers, advancing the development of anti-fraud efforts 
across the sector. This project successfully validated GenAI’s potential in deepfake
detection, providing deeper insights into how AI identifies forged or synthetic 
faces across various scenarios. Sandbox testing results demonstrated a detection
accuracy of over 96%. We believe the experience gained will help strengthen the 
industry’s ability to counter deepfake fraud, and build a more robust defence mechanism.”

 Developed in partnership with OneConnect Financial Technology, the Anti-Fraud Strategy
Platform leverages the proprietary technology of Ping An Group and OneConnect. The
project focused on evaluating the platform’s accuracy in detecting deepfake technologies.
By integrating cutting-edge A.I. facial recognition into the identity verification
process, the platform verifies user selfies in real time to flag suspected forged
or manipulated faces. This capability empowers teams to proactively monitor and 
prevent fraud, elevating the Bank’s overall risk management framework.

 Looking ahead, Ping An Digital Bank will continue to leverage the technological
edge of Ping An Group, increase its investment in A.I., and deepen the application
of A.I. in daily operation, such as risk control and product innovation. The Bank
remains dedicated to delivering a seamless, secure, and intuitive banking experience,
striving to become the “user-friendly digital bank” in the mind of every customer.
