Check Fraud Defender helps financial institutions detect suspicious checks in real time across mobile, branch, and ATM channels. It combines AI-powered analysis of check images with business rules and cross-institutional consortium intelligence to support faster fraud decisions.
Check fraud can move across institutions and deposit channels faster than traditional review processes can respond. Financial institutions need a clearer view of risk while a deposit is still in progress, without delaying legitimate customers unnecessarily.
Mitek Check Fraud Defender brings together patented imaging science, AI, business rules, and shared fraud intelligence to identify suspicious checks in real time. It analyzes images of both the front and back of a check, evaluates risk signals, and compares findings with information in Mitek's cross-institutional consortium. This gives fraud teams more context to investigate potentially altered, counterfeit, forged, or duplicate checks.
Designed to complement existing fraud workflows, Check Fraud Defender supports decisions across mobile deposit, branch, and ATM channels. Institutions can flag suspicious activity earlier, focus analyst attention where it matters, and help legitimate deposits move forward with less friction.

AWS Marketplace now accepts line of credit payments through the PNC Vendor Finance program. This program is available to select AWS customers in the US, excluding NV, NC, ND, TN, & VT.
Pricing is based on the duration and terms of your contract with the vendor, and additional usage. You pay upfront or in installments according to your contract terms with the vendor. This entitles you to a specified quantity of use for the contract duration. Usage-based pricing is in effect for overages or additional usage not covered in the contract. These charges are applied on top of the contract price. If you choose not to renew or replace your contract before the contract end date, access to your entitlements will expire.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
This listing has one pricing dimension, billed by Units under a contract. Pricing is not published on the Marketplace. Instead, you request a private offer to receive customer-specific pricing based on your institution's needs. The product is a cloud-hosted check fraud detection service that uses AI, image analysis, and a shared data consortium. Because terms are set per customer, your final price depends on the scope agreed with the vendor. Contact the vendor through a private offer to confirm unit definitions, volume, and contract length before purchase.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What counts as a billable unit for Check Fraud Defender?
The Marketplace lists pricing by Units but does not define the unit publicly. Based on the product design, usage centers on checks analyzed across mobile, branch, and ATM channels. To confirm whether a unit maps to a check, a deposit, or another metric, request a private offer from the vendor.
What does the service analyze for each check processed?
The service inspects both the front and back of each check using AI and computer vision. It evaluates 24 distinct check attributes and compares them against profiles in a shared data consortium. It covers official checks, government checks, money orders, and treasury checks across mobile, branch, and ATM channels.
How does cost scale as my check volume grows?
Pricing is billed by Units under a contract, so cost generally rises with the volume of checks or activity processed. Exact scaling depends on how units are defined and the quantity agreed in your contract. Request a private offer to confirm volume terms and how your bill changes with growth.
