Online Fraud Detection on Combating Credit Union Check Fraud with Technology

FLEX, a credit union core processor, integrates with Advanced Fraud Solution for check fraud prevention.

(Newswire.net -- October 27, 2016) Sandy, Utah -- FLEX CREDIT UNION TECHNOLOGY SELECTS ADVANCED FRAUD SOLUTIONS TO INTEGRATE INDUSTRY-LEADING CHECK FRAUD DETECTION SOLUTION WITHIN ITS TELLER CAPTURE PLATFORM.

Industry-leading solution providers for the financial services sector join forces to combat check deposit fraud 

FLEX announces a partnership to integrate its credit union core processing platform with Advanced Fraud Solutions’ (AFS) fraud detection tools. The partnership unites two industry leaders in the perennial fight against check fraud that continues to generate significant losses at credit unions across the nation.

A recent report produced by AFS found that while check volumes continue to decline, the exponential growth in online and mobile banking coupled with the adoption of EMV technology to combat plastic card fraud has helped breathe new life into fraud schemes involving paper checks.

FLEX customers will now be able to automatically screen checks presented at the teller line for fraud. In addition to detecting counterfeit checks, accounts with insufficient funds, and closed accounts, AFS’ solution helps financial institutions detect duplicate deposits previously made through remote deposit or mobile banking, which is a growing problem for the financial services industry as a whole.

“Check fraud continues to plague every financial institution, especially smaller institutions that may not understand the severity of the threat they face until they experience a loss,” says Lawrence Reaves, CEO of North Carolina-based AFS. “Our partnership with FLEX seamlessly embeds our award-winning fraud solution within the teller platform and provides credit union employees with the real-time information they need to make a fully-informed decision as to whether they should accept or reject a deposit. With less time spent processing routine deposits, tellers can refocus their efforts on improving the customer service experience,” adds Reaves.
