ID Verification & Counterfeit Money Detection for Convenience Store Retailers

Low Cost Solutions Optimize Fraud Prevention & Enable Regulatory Compliance

Now more than ever, convenience store retailers need to protect against fraud, reduce exposure to liability from regulatory violations and proactively show improved community responsibility. Fraud is on the rise and criminals are adapting easily accessible digital technology to aid them in their counterfeiting activities.

Fraud is a problem that costs more than $ 221 billion worldwide.

Convenience store fraud includes identity theft, fraudulent or stolen credit cards and counterfeit money – all of which affect the bottom line in an industry that is already struggling to recover from a rough economy.

Identity verification is vital in the convenience store environment due to the nature of the restricted products they sell. Sales of alcohol and tobacco require age verification – failure to do so may result in severe fines and expensive legal proceedings and/or the loss of liquor licenses. Sales of over the counter cough medicines require compliance with CMEA (Control Methamphetamine Act), which at a minimum means the retailer, must log ID’s of suspicious pseudoephedrine purchases.

In addition to issues associated with ID verification and underage sales, factor–in losses from counterfeit money and fraudulent checks and it is just that much harder for retailers to increase or their profits. Fraud Fighter™, a division of UVeritech, can help with low cost simple to use products that require little to no training and immediately verify ID’s and detect counterfeit money at the point–of–sale.
