New partnership targets rising check fraud in the banking industry


Viewpointe announced a new partnership with Mitek Systems, Inc. This strategic partnership will play a key role in combatting fraud for financial institutions.

"By leveraging Mitek's cutting-edge technologies, we are not only responding to the trends we are seeing but actively helping to shape a safer future for financial transactions."

Mitek's Check Fraud Defender is a cloud-hosted consortium that uses patented imaging science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to quickly analyze data, to help reduce losses associated with check fraud.

"We are excited to partner with Viewpointe to offer our check fraud detection technology," stated Kerry Cantley, VP of Digital Banking Strategy at Mitek. "Together, we can take a proactive approach to combating check fraud across financial institutions. By combining Viewpointe's content and compliance expertise with Mitek's robust Check Fraud Defender consortium, we're delivering an innovative solution, setting new standards in fraud prevention across banking."

Through this partnership, Viewpointe is significantly aiding its customers in their ongoing efforts to combat fraud and keep consumers safe online.
