AI-Powered Check Fraud Detection for Large Banks

Think of this like a hyper-vigilant bank teller who has watched millions of checks go by and learned the subtle patterns of what ‘fraud’ looks like. Instead of relying on a few rigid rules, it uses AI to spot odd behavior in real time and flag suspicious checks before the money leaves the bank.

Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Traditional, rules-based systems are failing to keep up with a rapid surge in check fraud and increasingly sophisticated fraud rings. Manual review is slow, expensive, and misses complex patterns that span accounts, channels, and time. This AI system aims to automatically detect and prevent fraudulent checks with higher accuracy and lower false positives, reducing losses and investigation costs.

Value Drivers

Loss reduction from prevented check fraudLower manual review and operations costFaster detection and response to emerging fraud patternsReduced customer friction by cutting false positives/declined legitimate checksRegulatory and compliance risk mitigation

Strategic Moat

Proprietary fraud behavior data across institutions, mature anomaly-detection models, and deeply embedded integrations with core banking and payment-processing workflows that are costly to rip and replace.
