FAQs

The questions fraud teams ask us

What is asset finance fraud?

An applicant or intermediary submits edited or fabricated documents, usually business bank statements or supplier invoices, to secure finance for equipment, vehicles or plant. The documents look genuine, so a visual review passes them.

How does Fraudfinder detect edited bank statements?

We inspect every file for signals a person can't see, using font, metadata and version history analysis, AI-generation and template checks, and Confirmation of Payee. You get a high risk, consider or acceptable verdict with every reason behind it.

What about documents that come through a broker?

Most broker packs have been opened and re-saved before they reach you. Fraudfinder tells you whether a difference from the original is an innocent derivative or a malicious edit, so you don't decline good deals.

Can you check supplier invoices?

Yes. We check invoices for edits and inflated totals, and Confirmation of Payee confirms the supplier's account before you pay them directly.

Will it slow down our turnaround?

No. A check takes seconds, so it fits inside a same-day decision. Start in the drag-and-drop portal or connect by API.

Can it support auto-approval?

Yes. Acceptable documents can clear automatically, so underwriters only review the files with a real anomaly.

Which banks do you cover?

Any bank in any country, including Tide, Starling, Revolut, Allica and the high street banks. Documents in other languages are translated and checked in the same pass.
