    JPMorgan Chase Files Lawsuits Amid Viral Check Fraud Glitch In late August, a technical error in Chase's ATM system allowed customers to withdraw large sums before their checks cleared. In response, Chase has filed lawsuits in federal courts across the U.S., seeking to recover the funds and hold individuals accountable for violating deposit agreements. Incidents like this show how quickly fraud schemes can escalate, especially with viral exposure. How can the industry adapt to prevent these types of viral fraud cases? What strategies do you see as the next step in protecting against large-scale check fraud? Join the conversation in the comments!

    In just five months, nearly 20,000 stolen checks—worth over $485 million—were seen for sale across 53 Telegram channels, according to Dr. David Maimon, Head of Fraud Insights at SentiLink. The findings reveal that 63% of these checks involve business transactions, and 22.6% are government checks—including IRS payments. In total, 31 financial institutions had $1M+ in checks shared, with four of the top five U.S. banks accounting for over $10M. But this isn’t just about stolen checks. The information fraudsters gather —routing numbers, contact details, account info—paves the way for identity theft, ACH fraud, and more. Too often, departments use separate technologies instead of unified access to case management systems for tracking and analysis. Combating fraud at this scale requires cross-departmental collaboration and integration of key tech like behavioral analytics, image forensic AI, consortium data, and dark web monitoring into a single system to provide a full fraud detection picture. Can the industry strengthen its response? Explore how institutions can close the gaps and effectively disrupt these fraud networks in our latest blog post. (Image source: David Maimon)

    What keeps checks relevant in a digital world? In the latest episode of the Reinventing Banking podcast, Banking & Fintech Editor for Bank Director Kiah Lau Haslett and Shai Stern, CEO of CheckAlt, explore this question. And, no surprise that legacy systems and outdated processes play a significant role. When systems fail to communicate, checks often become the default. Stern explains, “With all the demand, banks are often stuck with legacy systems, making it easier to just print and mail a check." OrboGraph's James Bi adds that removing checks entirely isn’t a viable solution. In a highly competitive industry, taking away a key payment channel could drive customers to competitors. How do you think banks can better adapt to these challenges? Listen to the full podcast and learn more about the staying power of checks in today's blog post.

    Is merging fraud and AML departments the best way to combat check fraud? A recent BAI Banking Strategies podcast sparked this debate, with Greg Kanevski of ServiceNow advocating for a unified approach. But OrboGraph experts James Bi and Peter Shortino offer a perspective consistent with that of instructors at the ABA AML and Fraud School. Collaboration between fraud and AML teams is essential, but merging them may not be the solution. Fraud analysts and BSA/AML analysts bring unique skills and training. While fraud detection is often reactive and time-sensitive, AML investigations are more thorough and time-intensive. Aligning these teams under a common framework, where they can share data and insights, enhances efficiency without losing focus on their specialized roles. Integrated tools like image forensic AI and transactional analytics bridge the gap, helping both teams to collaborate while maintaining their distinct strengths. What do you think? Should fraud and AML departments be merged, or is close collaboration the way forward? Share your thoughts in the comments and check out our latest blog post for more on this debate.

    Small businesses like contractors, landlords, and service providers still depend on checks for up to 25% of their revenue, making them attractive targets for check fraud. Even more alarming, business checks sell for more than personal checks on the dark web because they typically hold more funds. With digital payment methods on the rise, switching to alternative payments may seem like a solution, but it’s not that simple. According to the 2024 AFP® Payments Fraud and Control Survey, 70% of businesses have no plans to stop using checks in the near future. Why? Because alternative methods bring their own issues—high fees, unrecoverable funds, and increased vulnerabilities. For small businesses, staying ahead of fraud means being proactive, and that’s where banks and financial institutions can make a difference. By providing tools like payee positive pay and image forensic AI, FIs can help businesses protect themselves from check fraud. Find out how your institution can support small businesses in today's full blog post. (Link in comments)
