THE CHALLENGE

AI Makes Document Fraud Effortless. Traditional Checks Don't Keep Up.

€15B+

3 in 10
AI-forged documents pass manual review
< 30min
Time to forge a convincing pay stub with AI

Modern generative AI tools allow fraudsters to create photorealistic forged documents in minutes, pay stubs, bank statements, bills of lading, balance sheets. Traditional review processes were never designed for this threat.

What this means for your institution:

AI-generated pay stubs and salary slips pass visual review undetected
Manipulated BWA / P&L statements conceal true financial health
Fake bills of lading and trade documents enable multi-bank fraud
Forged KYB documents create shell companies that survive onboarding
THE SOLUTION

Pixel-Level Document Forensics. At Credit Decision Speed.

VAARHAFT's Fraud Scanner analyses every submitted document at the pixel level, detecting AI-generation artifacts, font manipulation, metadata inconsistencies and copy-paste edits that bypass visual review.

Five Document Fraud Scenarios. One Solution.

VAARHAFT protects every document-intensive decision point in your institution, from retail credit to complex trade finance structures.

Fraud Scanner

Fictitious Invoices, Duplicate Submissions & Collusive Fraud

Fraudsters submit invoices for services never rendered, present the same invoice to multiple factors simultaneously, or inflate transaction values on otherwise legitimate documents. In the most sophisticated cases, buyer and seller collude to create entire fictitious trade flows. VAARHAFT detects pixel-level document alterations, duplicate invoice fingerprints, and AI-generated forgeries, before you advance against fraudulent receivables.

WHY VAARHAFT

Built for the Speed and Precision Banking Demands

01

Works on Scanned Copies

Most fraud detection fails on documents that have been scanned, photographed, or emailed. VAARHAFT analyses authenticity after compression, format conversion, and multi-generation copying.

02

No Original Document Required

VAARHAFT detects forgeries from a single submitted file, no access to original templates, reference databases, or issuing authority systems needed.

03

Sub-3-Second Results

Analysis completes in under 3 seconds via REST API, fast enough for straight-through processing in loan origination and KYC workflows.

04

Legally Documentable Output

Each analysis produces a structured report with confidence score and reasoning, suitable for regulatory documentation and dispute resolution.

05

GDPR-Compliant by Design

No document data is stored after analysis. Processing is compliant with EU data protection requirements, including DSGVO/GDPR and EBA guidelines.

06

Works Across All Document Types

Single API covers pay stubs, bank statements, balance sheets, invoices, bills of lading, KYC documents, no separate integration per document type.
