Wire Chek℠

See recipient account risk before wire funds move

Wire Chek℠ uses network-shared intelligence to help financial institutions assess recipient account risk and reduce wire fraud exposure.

See the risk on the other side of the wire

Financial institutions have strong sender-side controls, but recipient account risk is often fragmented across banks. Wire Chek℠ uses network-shared intelligence to reveal cross-institutional fraud patterns no single institution can see alone.

What Wire Chek℠ helps you do

Strengthen outbound wire decisioning with network-informed recipient account intelligence that helps reveal risk beyond your institution’s own view.

Assess recipient account risk before funds move

Query the Certos network in real time before releasing wire funds and receive recipient account insights, including risk indicators, cross-institutional patterns, and network-level context.

Get alerted when one of your accounts is linked to new wire risk

Receive proactive alert-based signals when the network identifies new wire risk associated with one of your accounts, no inquiry required, helping your team take appropriate action according to your policies.

Reduce cross-institutional repeat fraud

Surface patterns tied to repeat fraud, money mule, and account takeover activity across participating institutions to help close visibility gaps exploited across banks.

Wire Chek℠ in action

Initial proof-of-concept analysis with three large U.S. financial institutions identified fraud exposure representing an estimated $260M in preventable wire fraud loss across the network.

How it works

Wire Chek℠ evaluates recipient accounts using network-shared intelligence and delivers risk insights through inquiry-based and alert-based workflows.
1

Wire activity enters the network

Participating institutions contribute required data to support shared recipient account risk context.

2

Recipient risk is assessed

Before funds are released, an institution can query Wire Chek℠ to evaluate the recipient account against network-contributed data.

3

Insights are delivered

Risk indicators are returned in real time, while alert-based signals notify participants when new recipient account risk emerges.

4

Your institution decides

Your teams review Wire Chek℠ insights and signals alongside internal data, policies, and risk tolerance and determine the appropriate action.

Recipient account intelligence built for wire fraud prevention

Two delivery modes. One connected network.
