The partnership offers Koodoo’s financial services customers a “one-stop-shop” solution that checks customer documents against requirements, extracts information, and utilises Resistant AI’s technology to check for signs of fraud.

As online criminals deploy increasingly sophisticated methods using new technologies available including AI, the need for advanced solutions to counteract fraud intensifies. A recent study by Resistant AI, which analysed over 25 million digital documents in the past six months, revealed that 8% of pay stubs, 10% of bank statements, and 7% of utility bills were manipulated. These documents underpin most financial services onboarding and underwriting processes, thus making it crucial to check for signs of manipulation early in the customer journey, ultimately saving time further down the line for lenders.

The supercharged Document Checking technology utilises AI's adaptability, continuously learning from new data and evolving to stay ahead of sophisticated fraudulent techniques. For example, AI can identify subtle irregularities, such as unexpected variations in document metadata that might suggest tampering. This capability enhances the accuracy and depth of fraud detection far beyond traditional methods while significantly lightening the time and effort load on financial institutions’ operational resources. Integrating AI into document processing not only streamlines the onboarding and underwriting processes but also ensures a higher level of security and compliance, pivotal in today's rapidly changing financial landscape.

Andrei Lebed, CEO of Koodoo, expressed his enthusiasm, stating: “Our mission at Koodoo is to simplify and empower operational processes by leveraging the latest technology. Combining our domain expertise in mortgages and financial services with Resistant AI’s best-in-class fraud detection solutions puts our customers in the best possible position to streamline their operational processes. Together, we aim to set new standards for efficiency and right-first-time document checking in financial services.”

Martin Rehak, CEO, Resistant AI says, “We are thrilled to work with Koodoo to strengthen the protection of their customers against document fraud. In today’s world, the threat of fraud is rapidly increasing and at Resistant we work very hard to make sure that our solution provides a “defence-in-depth” strategy. This approach involves multiple, interlocking layers of detectors that are incredibly difficult to evade even for a knowledgeable attacker.”
