Frequently Asked Questions

What is Chequedb?

Chequedb is an AI-powered cheque management platform that automates cheque scanning, data extraction, fraud detection, and approval workflows for banks and businesses. It uses OCR and handwriting recognition to extract payee names, amounts, dates, and MICR data from cheques, then runs AI-driven validation including signature verification and fraud detection. Chequedb is available as a cloud-hosted SaaS or as a fully on-premise deployment for organisations with strict data sovereignty requirements.

How does Chequedb's AI cheque processing work?

Chequedb processes cheques in under 2 seconds using a multi-stage AI pipeline. First, the cheque image is captured via scanner, mobile camera, or API upload. The OCR engine then extracts printed and handwritten text including amounts, dates, payee names, and MICR line data. Next, AI validation checks run automatically — including signature pressure-point matching, biometric analysis, amount matching, and date verification. Finally, cheques enter a configurable approval queue where staff can approve or reject with a single click. The entire process is logged with a full audit trail for compliance.

What industries does Chequedb serve?

Chequedb serves banks, credit unions, insurance companies, accounting firms, property management companies, and enterprises that process cheques at scale. Banks use it for mobile deposit capture and branch processing. Insurance companies use it for claim payment cheques. Accounting firms use it to manage client cheques across multiple accounts. Property managers use it to automate rent cheque collection and late payment tracking.

Does Chequedb offer an API for cheque processing?

Yes. Start with our bank check OCR API overview, then move into the check processing API for integration detail. Chequedb supports cheque scanning, OCR data extraction, fraud detection, signature verification, and deposit processing. Native SDKs are available for iOS (Swift), Android (Kotlin/Java), and Web (JavaScript/TypeScript), with OAuth 2.0 authentication, real-time webhooks, and sandbox environments for testing.

How does Chequedb detect cheque fraud?

Chequedb's fraud detection system analyses over 200 biometric characteristics per cheque, including signature pressure points, stroke velocity, and writing patterns. The AI model identifies forged signatures, altered amounts, counterfeit cheques, and duplicate deposits in real time. Each cheque receives a fraud risk score, and configurable thresholds can trigger additional approval steps for high-risk items. The system is SOC 2 Type II certified, PCI DSS compliant, and ISO 27001 certified.

Can Chequedb be deployed on-premise?

Yes. Chequedb offers full on-premise deployment where all processing, AI fraud detection, and data storage run entirely within your organisation's infrastructure. No data leaves your network, and no external API calls are made. Deployment options include bare metal, virtual machines (VMware, Hyper-V), containerised deployment (Docker/Kubernetes), and private cloud setups. AI model updates are delivered as signed packages you apply on your own schedule.
