Put Verification and Escalation Between a Suspicious Request and a Loss

Fraud prevention with explicit verification steps and audit trails.

Direct answer

Fraud-Prevention adds dual-control and verification to W-9, invoice, and vendor changes with immutable audit trails.

Business payment fraud rarely looks like a hack. It looks like a normal Tuesday request — from a familiar name, with a plausible reason, and a deadline. The defense isn't suspicion; it's a checkpoint every high-risk request must pass , with escalation a person can actually follow at 4:47 PM.

Process + verification, not just software · Built around your approvals

Pause by rule

Triggers (amount, new payee, changed details) stop the request automatically — no heroics needed.

Verify out-of-band

Callback on a known number, never the one in the suspicious message. Identity proved, not assumed.

Check context

Does it match the real project, invoice, person, timing? Mismatches escalate instead of processing.

Approve or escalate

A named approver decides, and the decision is recorded — the audit trail writes itself.

🚩 Urgency + secrecy

“Wire it now, don't discuss it.” Speed is the weapon; slowness is the defense.

🚩 Changed bank details

New account, new instructions — the classic swap, caught by callback.

🚩 Unusual executive ask

Out-of-pattern requests from familiar names — including familiar voices.

🚩 Credential / payroll changes

Resets and direct-deposit edits are high-value targets. Verify out-of-band.

🚩 New vendor onboarding

First payments to unknown payees get extra checks, every time.

🚩 Out-of-hours pressure

Requests timed when verifiers are away. The clock is part of the con.

Escalation Matrix (Yours Will Be Specific)

Honest boundary: verification processes reduce this risk dramatically but cannot promise zero losses — anyone who guarantees that is selling something. What we build: triggers people actually hit, verification that takes minutes, escalation that doesn't depend on memory, and records that prove what happened.

Fraud-Prevention Questions

Software records what happened. Verification decides what gets to happen — that human checkpoint is the layer fraud is designed to bypass.

Designed to take minutes, and only for triggered requests. Normal payments flow; suspicious ones wait for proof.

Same answer: out-of-band verification that doesn't trust the channel the request arrived on. See our deepfake verification page.

No — and don't buy from anyone who does. We materially shrink the window and prove decisions.

One stopped wire pays for this forever. Put the checkpoint in before you need it.

How Custom AI Works delivers

  1. 1. Map the real workflow

    We map the highest-cost workflow first — the calls, forms, inboxes, CRMs, and handoffs involved — before anything is built.

  2. 2. Build the smallest useful fix

    A scoped build with approval gates and human-in-the-loop exception paths, around the tools you already use.

  3. 3. Prove it in production

    The workflow runs live with logs your team can inspect, so value is proven — not promised.

  4. 4. Hand over ownership

    Docs, logs, and the code itself are yours. No lock-in, no renting your own system back.
