Frequently Asked Questions
Bank statement fraud detection is the process of identifying falsified, tampered, or manipulated bank statements submitted during loan applications or financial assessments. It covers two distinct layers: document-level checks (verifying the statement has not been altered) and transaction-level analysis (identifying suspicious patterns like circular transactions, salary inflation, or artificial balance boosts). Automated tools like Precisa run both layers simultaneously across every statement uploaded, flagging irregularities with transaction-level evidence.
Manual review catches obvious alterations but misses patterns that only emerge across hundreds of transactions or multiple accounts. A reviewer reading a 12-month statement might not notice that salary credits are suspiciously round, that balance spikes correspond to dates money was borrowed from a related account, or that two months with low activity are missing entirely. Automated detection analyses the full statement against pre-mapped fraud indicators in seconds, reducing both review time and the risk of approving a manipulated application.
Precisa maps 14+ fraud indicators including document tampering (PDF metadata checks and font analysis), circular transactions, salary inflation, cash deposits on bank holidays, RTGS payments below RBI thresholds, no-transaction month gaps, and round-figure anomalies.
Precisa checks PDF creator and producer metadata, font consistency across the document, date created vs. date modified fields, and balance vs. computed balance to detect manual alterations. A penny drop (₹1 deposit) also confirms the bank account is active and the IFSC code is valid.
Yes. Multiple accounts can be uploaded in a single report. Precisa cross-references transactions across all of them, flagging inter-bank transfers, circular patterns between related accounts, counterparty overlaps, and suspicious fund flow sequences.
The Precisa Score is a 0-1,000 creditworthiness rating generated by Precisa's proprietary algorithm. It factors in fraud detections, suspicious activity signals, OD/CC utilisation patterns, and account volatility data. Scores below 499 indicate a high-risk account.
