DEFEND: The New Frontier of Check Fraud- Safeguarding Tax Season and Treasury Checks in 2025

With tax season approaching, fraudsters are ramping up their schemes, targeting treasury checks and refund payouts with increasingly sophisticated tactics. From check alterations and image manipulation to fraudulent withdrawals and wire transfers, bad actors are finding new ways to exploit financial institutions at multiple points in the transaction lifecycle.

Watch DataVisor and Mitek Systems for an insightful webinar exploring the evolving landscape of check fraud and the latest defense strategies. We’ll examine how fraudsters infiltrate financial institutions, from the moment an account is created, to check deposit and towards the final withdrawal, and how a Customer 360° fraud prevention approach can help detect suspicious activity-even beyond the initial check deposit.

In this session, you’ll learn::

  • Emerging check fraud schemes targeting treasury and refund checks during tax season—and their impact on financial institutions.
  • How fraudsters manipulate the system at different touchpoints, from registration to withdrawal.
  • The power of AI-driven fraud detection and a 360 degree customer view in preventing financial losses across customer’s lifecycle.
  • Real-world case studies showcasing how financial institutions are strengthening their fraud prevention frameworks.
  • Proactive strategies to safeguard against evolving threats and minimize risk exposure.
