Prevent Consumer Fraud Protection with FraudChek

One major credit or check scam can turn a company's bottom line from black to red before you can say "boom and bust." Fraud can also invite a death of a thousand cuts when lots of small, bogus transactions start draining the vitality from your business.

The good news? FraudChek, Checkgateway's innovative, automated and affordable consumer fraud protection and prevention package lets you stop worrying and wasting valuable staff time on verification, returns and chargebacks.

Perhaps best of all, Checkgateway's FraudChek products put you in the driver's seat with the industry's first - and only - merchant-defined, weighted scoring system. Because all merchants aren't created equal, you determine the level of risk that you are comfortable with and let us do the rest, all in real time.

These two powerhouses are at your disposal with FraudChek, which can assist you with check verification, address verification and other tasks.

Consumer Identification for Check or Credit Card Transactions:

FraudChek accesses credit bureau information via Experian's powerful data networks to verify the identity of your customer, greatly boosting your immunity to fraud.

Just how much depth you'd like in the verification process depends upon the needs of your business.

FraudChek Basic verifies your customer's name, address, telephone number, social security number, and driver's license. Information is cross-matched, providing you with even greater assurance in your customer's identity.

Online merchants can put even more fraud-proofing muscle in their transactions by using Checkgateway's FraudChek Premier package. Still using Experian's credit bureau information, purchases are approved only after customers successfully answer randomly-generated questions drawn from information in their credit report.
