Why Mixpeek
98% fraud detection rate with 0.1% false positives, real-time analysis during application flow, and detection of sophisticated forgeries human reviewers miss
Overview
Document fraud is increasingly sophisticated. This use case shows how Mixpeek detects visual and data anomalies that indicate fraudulent financial documents.
Challenges This Solves
Sophisticated Forgeries
Modern tools make convincing fake documents
Impact: Human reviewers miss well-crafted forgeries
Volume Pressure
Thousands of applications requiring verification
Impact: Thorough manual review impossible at scale
Customer Experience
Fraud checks create application friction
Impact: Legitimate customers abandon due to delays
Evolving Tactics
Fraudsters continuously adapt techniques
Impact: Static rules quickly become obsolete
Implementation Steps
Mixpeek analyzes document images for tampering indicators, cross-references data against known patterns, and detects visual anomalies that indicate fraud
Analyze Document Submissions
Process documents for fraud indicators
import { Mixpeek } from 'mixpeek';const client = new Mixpeek({ apiKey: process.env.MIXPEEK_API_KEY });// Analyze document for fraud indicatorsasync function analyzeDocument(documentUrl: string, documentType: string) {const analysis = await client.fraud.analyzeDocument({url: documentUrl,document_type: documentType, // 'drivers_license', 'paystub', 'bank_statement'checks: ['visual_tampering', // Pixel manipulation, font inconsistencies'metadata_analysis', // EXIF data, creation timestamps'template_matching', // Compare against known genuine templates'data_consistency', // Cross-check extracted data'quality_anomalies' // Unusual image artifacts]});return {risk_score: analysis.risk_score, // 0-100decision: analysis.decision, // 'approve', 'review', 'reject'fraud_indicators: analysis.indicators,extracted_data: analysis.extracted_fields,confidence: analysis.confidence};}
Detect Visual Tampering
Identify pixel-level manipulation
// Detailed tampering analysisasync function detectTampering(documentId: string) {const tampering = await client.fraud.detectTampering({document_id: documentId,analysis_depth: 'comprehensive',checks: ['copy_paste_detection', // Cloned regions'font_consistency', // Mixed fonts indicating edits'edge_analysis', // Unnatural edges from cutting'compression_artifacts', // Re-saved JPEG artifacts'lighting_consistency', // Inconsistent shadows/lighting'noise_pattern' // Sensor noise differences]});return {is_tampered: tampering.is_tampered,tampered_regions: tampering.regions.map(r => ({bounding_box: r.bbox,tampering_type: r.type,confidence: r.confidence})),original_areas: tampering.likely_original,manipulation_type: tampering.manipulation_category};}
Cross-Reference Data
Verify data consistency across documents
// Cross-reference data across application documentsasync function crossReferenceApplication(applicationId: string) {const documents = await getApplicationDocuments(applicationId);const crossCheck = await client.fraud.crossReference({documents: documents.map(d => ({id: d.id,type: d.type,extracted_data: d.extracted_fields})),checks: ['name_consistency', // Same name across docs'address_consistency', // Address matches'date_consistency', // Dates make sense'income_plausibility', // Income matches stated employment'employer_verification' // Employer exists, info matches]});return {consistency_score: crossCheck.score,discrepancies: crossCheck.discrepancies,risk_factors: crossCheck.risk_factors,verification_status: crossCheck.overall_status};}
Real-Time Decision Engine
Make fraud decisions during application flow
// Real-time fraud decision during applicationasync function getFraudDecision(applicationId: string) {const docAnalysis = await analyzeAllDocuments(applicationId);const crossRef = await crossReferenceApplication(applicationId);const decision = await client.fraud.getDecision({application_id: applicationId,document_scores: docAnalysis,cross_reference: crossRef,policy: 'standard_underwriting',thresholds: {auto_approve: 20, // Risk score below 20auto_reject: 80, // Risk score above 80manual_review: 'between'}});return {decision: decision.action,risk_score: decision.composite_score,primary_factors: decision.top_risk_factors,requires_stepup: decision.step_up_verification,processing_time_ms: decision.latency};}
