Advanced Fraud Solutions (AFS) has joined forces with integrated fraud detection product developer SQN Banking Systems (SQN) to combat cheque fraud.

The collaboration combines AFS transit cheque fraud detection module TrueChecks and SQN’s SENTRY fraud prevention solutions suite.

The integrated offering will enable the clients to identify fraudulent cheques in transit and on-us channels, thereby preventing eventual losses.

SQN president Joe Uhland said: “Financial institutions understand the value of reducing risk.

“By integrating the TrueChecks® database with SQN Banking Systems, we’re creating a complete solution to protect both sides of an institution’s cheque business.”

The combined proposition will offer real-time notifications on counterfeit, NSF, closed account, duplicate and fraudulent transit items, AFS noted.

AFS vice-president of Strategic Partnerships Ted Kirk said: “Despite the falling volume of cheques in circulation, cheques remain a high-risk threat.

“By taking a proactive approach, financial institutions can better safeguard against fraud and reduce losses.

“Today’s news also redoubles the value of AFS’ cooperative approach – SQN customers are invited to contribute to the TrueChecks database.

“The more up-to-date information is received, the more FIs across the network benefit.”
