Comprehensive
Check Fraud Detection
Powered by Consortium Insights
The foundation of Nasdaq Verafin’s Check Fraud solution is built on a powerful consortium data set, comprised from thousands of customer partners, hundreds of millions of counterparties, tens of billions of check images, and over a billion transactions that are analyzed in our Cloud each week. Without sharing personally identifiable information (PII), this massive data set provides Nasdaq Verafin with a holistic view of check fraud, from deposit to in-clearing.
Cross-Channel Intelligence
Nasdaq Verafin’s cross-channel fraud detection allows your institution to see across multiple channels, such as wire, ACH and instant payments, in a single solution, to quickly determine high and low risk payee-payer relationships.
Machine Learning Analysis
Nasdaq Verafin provides superior detection of in-clearing check fraud by performing a range of evaluations with tools enhanced by machine learning, including image analysis, transaction and MICR analysis, and counterparty analysis. These machine learning analytics are trained on our immense consortium data set to detect patterns of evidence indicative of fraudulent and non-fraudulent checks.
Consortium Counterparty Deposit Analysis
Using Cloud data, Nasdaq Verafin considers deposit-side risking using our deposit fraud machine learning analytic on the in-clearing check fraud analysis and alerts to potential risk for strong fraud detection.
Behavioral Analysis
Nasdaq Verafin’s Check Fraud solution analyzes patterns of behavior and considers when activity is uncharacteristic for your customer and may be indicative of a potential scam.
Check Imaging
Nasdaq 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 and compare features against other checks drawn from the same institution or written by the same payer.
