Understanding Bank Statement Fraud Detection

Our system performs comprehensive fraud detection analysis on bank statements to generate an authenticity score and identify potential warning signals. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how it works.

Authenticity Score #

Documents receive a score from 0-100, where:

  • 90-100: Document appears authentic
  • 70-89: Minor concerns detected
  • 50-69: Moderate risk detected
  • 0-49: High risk of fraud detected

Analysis components #



1. PDF Metadata Analysis


2. Structural Analysis


3. Transaction Analysis


4. Reconciliation Check

Document Fingerprinting #

The system generates unique fingerprints for documents based on:

  • PDF metadata
  • Other structural characteristics

These fingerprints are used to:

  • Match against known authentic documents
  • Detect duplicates or modified versionsBuild a database of trusted document templates

Best Practices #

Always review the specific signals that contributed to a low score

Pay extra attention to documents with multiple high-confidence signals

Consider the context – some legitimate documents may trigger minor signals
