Podcast: How AI is catching check fraud early

FINAi News

Check fraud remains a threat for financial institutions, but AI can help by detecting anomalies. 

Check fraud is “a growing concern for many,” Ati Azemoun, vice president of business development at Longmont, Colo.-based software provider ParaScript, tells FinAi News on this episode of “The Buzz” podcast. 

In fact, 63% of organizations experienced check fraud or attempted check fraud in 2025, according to the Association of Financial Professionals. The AFP surveyed 521 treasury practitioner members. 

One anomaly AI can detect is signature forgery, Azemoun says.  

ParaScript’s forgery detection software, SignatureXpert.AI, can compare signatures from previous checks and flag when a signature is different, ultimately stopping the fraud, he says.
