Verification layers to detect Data / Image Anomalies

Veryfi employs advanced verification layers that analyze both document visuals and content patterns to identify potential anomalies.

  • LCD detection - detects pictures of a screen

  • AI-Generated - detects AI-Generated Checks

  • Duplicate Detection - detects duplicate submissions

  • Complete Image capture - verifies if all four corners of the check are captured

  • Not a Document - detects if a submitted document is not a bank check

  • Amount mismatch - highlights CAR/LAR amount mismatch

  • Endorsement presence - (front and back side OCR) - detects signatures and endorsements of the front and the back of the check

  • Handwriting detection - identifies handwritten values for further Validation Logic

  • Image Quality Assessment - evaluates document clarity through an ocr.score metric that enables threshold-based processing decisions

Building Business Validation Logic for Bank Checks

Veryfi Checks Toolkit comes with prebuilt rule templates that will help you build Business Validation Logic employing the extracted data and signals from checks' visuals & content patterns.

Core validation rules help identify and flag common issues

  • Date freshness check (e.g. stale-dated check rejection after 60+ days)

  • Currency verification

  • Endorsement presence (front and back side OCR)

  • Checks missing issuer signatures

  • Checks with missing required information

  • Voided and void terms for checks

  • Amount mismatch detection (numeric vs written)

Our validation layer aligns with the requirements enforced by platforms

Can I create custom rules?

Yes! The sky is the limit. While Veryfi provides a list of the most common rules, you can create any number of rules that fit your needs with complex logic decisions.

Business Rules are not enabled by default.
