Completely Protected Utility and Bank Doc Verification using Trusted Sources

Companies have been verifying proof of address and other identity files for many years using multiple document methods. This post is separate from ID documents, such as a passport or driver's license. Instead, it focuses on those that include additional information, such as financial records, medical licenses, or addresses. The problem has been the trustworthiness of these documents due to the ease of tampering and modifying any PDF document. Thousands of websites and individuals offer services to generate fake bank statements or utility bills. Pay slips, company registrar documents, invoices, and more are all possible to tamper. This has led multiple industries to attempt various ways to counter it. Some may offer open banking, but it has not yet reached the point of interoperability, and systems remain closed due to the high cost of performing a single customer verification. Due to the disparate nature of document verifications and uniqueness of formats it becomes difficult to detect real versus fake files. AI attempted to detect the minutiae of a document by analyzing various factors, including font, file editors, templates, and balance logic, among others, to assign a score to the trustworthiness of the document. However, in the end, that is a complex process that requires constant updating and vigilance and doesn’t guarantee anything against advanced threat actors who know how to spoof every aspect.

To address this significant issue, Trust Swiftly has introduced a trusted file authenticity verification method. Instead of attempting to identify modification of a document, we can use cryptographically secure tracking of downloaded and uploaded files. Through this strategy, it is impossible to verify a document that is not from the source site. Trust Swiftly utilizes a secure environment that can monitor the downloaded file and ensure it remains unaltered when shared. This advanced method is suitable for scenarios that require the most stringent verification, such as proof of income or address or other cases where a business must be confident in the originality of the information. Our approach is not only secure, but it also maintains customer privacy. In these environments, no one has access to log or monitor account login credentials, and the entire session is destroyed after the process is complete. The use of ephemeral verification sessions with fully guarded document verification ensures that only legitimate documents are shared.

This advanced verification method will outlast any AI-generated documents, Photoshop, or other tools attempting to manipulate documents. There is an extensive audit trail that cannot be modified during the lockdown session, ensuring complete trust in the process. Thousands have already attempted to bypass this secure method during our bounty program, but they are unable to pass any of the checks. Trust Swiftly continues to innovate, and we will adapt our solution to detect all types of fraud.
