How can cheque security be implemented easily in banks

How can cheque security be implemented easily in banks

A Simple Cheque Security Solution with Secure QR Code

Here’s an overview of cheque security solution with QR Code

Typically, the cheques issued by banks have to comply with strict guidelines in terms of embedded security features as well as steps to be followed during the processing. But the scamsters also have access to sophisticated technology which can replicate most of these features on counterfeit cheques and make it impossible to distinguish between the original and the fake especially in image-based cheque processing. It is also possible to get the signatures of the original account holder through underhand means so as to pass through that checkpoint too. But, technology is a double-edged tool — and also provides a way to address this problem!

One way to do this is to add a Secure QR Code with details such as cheque number, account number and bank code stored inside. Cutting-edge technology similar to hyper ledger ensures that this high security, tamperproof code can only be created by the issuing bank. This QR code is machine-readable and the information inside can be cross-checked with the MICR information to validate the cheque and identify the fraudulent ones. Most importantly the QR code is unique for ‘each’ cheque and can only be generated by the issuing organization. The technology can be easily integrated with the existing infrastructure and can handle the necessary processing volumes. Qryptal Secure QR codes used for financial services are privacy-friendly with no dependency on databases and no sharing of customer sensitive information

    Account Statements: Make them Tamperproof and Easily Verifiable with Qryptal Secure QR Codes

    Validating statements and eliminating tampering

    Bank statements may sometimes need to be verified by third parties for loan approvals, proof of net worth and so on. Usually, the onus is on the customer to get the physical statement attested or chopped by the issuing bank for this purpose. However, this is time-consuming and can be annoying for both the customer as well as the issuing bank. This problem can be solved by having the statement stamped with a Qryptal QR code securing the details inside it. The code is added as an image using the Qryptal generator and the same can be validated using the dedicated QR validator app.
