FAQs

The questions fraud teams ask us

What is document fraud in business lending?

An applicant submits edited or fabricated bank statements, invoices or accounts to pass affordability and serviceability checks. Modern edits are correctly formatted and internally consistent, so they pass a visual review.

What if the applicant won't use Open Banking?

That's exactly where Fraudfinder fits. We check the PDF statements they send instead, in seconds, so you can still lend to genuine businesses that won't connect.

How does Fraudfinder detect edits?

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.

Are certified documents safe to rely on?

Not on their own. Certification confirms where a document came from, not whether it was edited before it was certified. Fraudfinder tests the file itself.

Can you check invoices for invoice finance?

Yes. We check invoices for edits and inflated totals, and Confirmation of Payee confirms the debtor or supplier account.

How long does a check take?

Seconds. Ultimate Finance saves around five minutes per deal compared with manual review.

How do we get started?

Start in the drag-and-drop portal the same day, then connect by API into your decision engine when you're ready.
