Check Fraud

Identify fraudulent in-clearing checks within your institution’s hold window.

Uncover check fraud quickly with greater efficiency

Even with the rise in digital channels, criminals are still using stolen and counterfeit checks and kiting schemes to cause financial institutions extensive losses. In-clearing check schemes are a serious fraud threat and timely detection remains a challenge for institutions.

Verafin’s cloud-based, cross-channel analysis builds a comprehensive view of a customer’s check activity. Customer-driven and machine learning analytical agents greatly enhance your fraud investigations with targeted alerts and visual smart evidence, including a powerful check image viewer, helping you quickly identify fraudulent checks to mitigate losses.

Features

CHECK FRAUD CONSORTIUM ANALYTICS

Identify in-clearing check fraud using Consortium Analytics. By analyzing both the check deposit and withdrawal, Verafin provides the complete picture of in-clearing check risk to investigators.

IN-CLEARING CHECK ANALYSIS

Verafin analyzes a customer’s check activity for indicators of unusual checks and alerts you to a wide range of potentially fraudulent activity, including unusual dollar values, large check number sequence gaps, and duplicate check numbers.

CHECK KITING ANALYSIS

Detect check kiting activity with Verafin’s analytics for individual and business accounts. Fraudulent account activity alerts are enhanced with a timeline of the unusual activity, the amount of your institution’s exposure, and information about any consistency in flow of funds or payer and payee details.

CHECK IMAGING

Verafin provides you with the ability to view images of potentially suspicious checks within the alert. At a click, you can view the front and back of a check, compare features against other checks drawn from the same institution or written by the same payer.

OCR & IMAGE ANALYSIS

Using machine learning, including Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and image analysis, Verafin enhances detection of fraudulent or fake checks, and reduces false positives by identifying pre-authorized checks and correcting encoding errors.

Benefits

Verafin’s check kiting alerts warn you of potential kiting activity before the fraudster adds more checks across additional accounts.

Verafin’s predictive approach to check fraud analysis allows for faster identification of out-of-pattern checks or checks that appear similar to known fraudulent activity.

Improved check investigations

Verafin’s check image functionality gives you the ability to visually compare checks by payee and originating FI without having to leave the alert. Expedite investigations with smart evidence, including debit/credit, exposure and check history graphs, and balance charts.
