Fraud & Risk

Fraud & Risk surfaces things worth a second look: signs that a statement may not be internally consistent, and per-transaction risk signals you can pull up on demand.

Signals, not verdicts

Nothing on this page determines that fraud has occurred. A score, a level or a finding is a prompt to review — evidence to check, not a conclusion. See Notes and limits.

What it shows

PanelWhat it contains
Integrity scoreA score out of 100 for the statement data in view, with an accompanying risk level of LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH
Statement integrityA short written summary, plus a list of findings. Each finding has a title, an explanation, how many times it occurred, its own severity, and example values
Amount-pattern checkCompares the spread of your transaction amounts against the pattern normal, unedited figures usually follow, and flags when the spread looks unusual enough to be worth a closer look
Per-transaction riskA table of your transactions — date, description or merchant, and amount — with a Check action per row

When no integrity issues are found, the panel says so explicitly rather than showing an empty list.

Features

FeatureWhat it does
Statement-integrity checksLooks across the statement for things that don't add up — running balances that don't follow on, duplicated rows, clusters of round numbers, a leading-digit spread that deviates from the usual pattern, and postings dated in the future — and reports what it finds
Findings with examplesEvery finding carries a count and sample values so you can go and look at the actual rows
Amount-pattern comparisonShows the spread of your amounts against the usual pattern, so anything unusual stands out at a glance
On-demand transaction checkChoose Check on any row to retrieve that transaction's risk level, its score and the reasons behind it
ReasonsEach checked transaction lists the specific reasons that contributed — an unusually large debit, a high-risk keyword, rapid repeats, or a new high-value merchant — shown as labels next to the row

How to use it

  1. Open Fraud & Risk.
  2. Read the integrity score and risk level for an overall sense of the data in view.
  3. Work through the findings. For each one, use the count and the examples to judge whether it looks like a genuine problem or an artefact of how the account is used.
  4. Glance at the amount-pattern panel. A result flagged as unusual is a reason to verify, not a conclusion.
  5. In the transaction table, choose Check on any row you want assessed. The level, score and reasons appear on that row.
  6. Follow up on anything that looks wrong using your own records — the original statement, the merchant, or your bank.

Notes and limits

  • These are risk signals, not determinations of fraud. A HIGH level or a low integrity score means "review this", never "this is fraudulent". Do not treat a score as proof, and do not act against a person or a supplier on the strength of one.
  • Equally, a LOW level and a clean findings list are not a guarantee that nothing is wrong. Absence of a signal is not evidence of absence.
  • Findings describe patterns in the data you uploaded. Legitimate activity can produce them — regular round-number transfers, repeated identical charges from one merchant, or a genuinely small sample of transactions can all move the picture.
  • The amount-pattern comparison is only meaningful when there are enough transactions. Read it with the sample size in mind.
  • Per-transaction risk is retrieved when you choose Check on a row. Rows you have not checked simply have no assessment yet.
  • The transaction table shows a recent page of transactions rather than your entire history. Use Transactions to search and filter the full set.
  • Integrity analysis covers the statement data available for the period in view. Uploading more statements — or correcting categorisation — can change the result.
