Fraud Fighter™ Products Immediately Detect and Deter Counterfeit Currency

Instantly Stop Counterfeit Currency Activity

By the very nature of their business models, companies that perform foreign currency exchange services are considered ideal targets for perpetrators of counterfeit fraud. Unidentified individuals, typically carrying fraudulent foreign identity documents, will exchange any of more than one hundred different world currencies or cash travelers checks denominated in various different world currencies. Customers of exchange centers will also often utilize stolen or fake credit cards to take cash–advances. Worldwide, currency counterfeiting is a multiple hundred–million dollar problem. Add counterfeit traveler checks and fraudulent credit cards, and the scope of the problem increases exponentially.

U.S. based exchange centers must also comply with a variety of laws and regulations requiring validation of identity at the point–of–transaction prior to continuing with the transaction. Due to the risks outlined above, currency exchange centers must be able to systematically:

• Scan and validate an evolving range of identity documents
• Properly check banknotes
• Authenticate traveler checks issued by more than a dozen different companies
• Identify Counterfeit credit cards
• Capture, log and store information relating to (certain larger currency transactions)
