Stop Trade Finance Fraud Before It Hits Your Books

Trade finance fraud costs banks $5B+ annually. Forged letters of credit, altered bank guarantees, and duplicate invoices slip through manual checks. Sealayer catches them in seconds.

The Problem With Manual Document Checks

Banks process thousands of documents daily -- loan applications, trade finance instruments, compliance forms. Manual review is slow, expensive, and error-prone. Fraudsters exploit this with sophisticated forgeries that cost the industry billions. A single forged letter of credit can expose a bank to millions in losses before anyone notices.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Sealayer detect forged bank guarantees?

Sealayer uses AI-powered analysis to examine font consistency, formatting patterns, digital signatures, and metadata. It cross-references the document against known templates and flags anomalies such as altered amounts, dates, or signatory details.

Can Sealayer integrate with our existing core banking system?

Yes. Sealayer provides a REST API that integrates with any core banking platform. Documents can be automatically verified during processing workflows, with results returned in milliseconds.

Is the blockchain anchoring legally admissible as evidence?

Sealayer uses RFC 3161 timestamps and Polygon blockchain anchoring, both of which provide cryptographic proof of document existence at a specific point in time. This is increasingly accepted by courts and regulators worldwide.

How does this help with trade finance fraud prevention?

Trade finance fraud often relies on duplicate or altered documents being presented to multiple banks. Sealayer creates a unique cryptographic fingerprint for each document, making it impossible to present modified versions without detection.

What compliance standards does Sealayer support for banking?

Sealayer supports KYC/AML document verification workflows, GDPR-compliant data handling, and produces audit trails that satisfy regulatory requirements from the Basel Committee, FCA, and other financial regulators.
