FraudFighter

What FraudFighter does

FraudFighter, operated by privately-held California corporation UVeritech, Inc. (founded 2000, Glendora, CA), is a specialist supplier of counterfeit currency detection and identity authentication equipment to the loss-prevention and point-of-sale market. The portfolio is anchored by two product families: hardware counterfeit scanners — automatic devices (CT-600, CT-250) that verify UV, infrared, magnetic ink, and intaglio security features in under two seconds per bill, and manual UV detectors (ULED-2000, ULED-1500, UV-16P, HH-4, UV Pro Penlight) — and an identity authentication platform (FraudFighter ID, PALIDIN) that pairs desktop scanners (ID-150, PAL-ID1, the Thales-built AT10K) with machine-learning document analysis, computer vision across visible/IR/UV spectra, OCR, facial recognition, and behavioral risk scoring to return a fraud risk score plus a secure authentication token. Mobile and web extensions (MobilVerify, WebID) extend the same capability beyond fixed countertops. The business operates a hybrid revenue model: one-time hardware sales and replacement-bulb/accessory revenue combined with annual software license subscriptions for FraudFighter ID/PALIDIN that include document library updates and optional extended warranties.

FraudFighter sells primarily to B2B enterprise customers through a direct enterprise field-sales motion (consultation-driven, 30-day free trials, "Request a Quote" CTAs) targeting loss prevention directors, compliance officers, and operations managers at retailers, banks, credit unions, casinos, car rental agencies, automotive dealers, and restaurants. A self-serve Shopify e-commerce storefront serves SMBs and individual buyers, while a tiered channel/reseller, technology, and marketing partner program with SDK/API integration extends reach through value-added resellers and system integrators. The named customer base spans Wells Fargo (25,000+ units deployed nationwide, documented 2,000%+ ROI in a 100-branch 30-day trial), Chase, Capital One, Bank of America, Disneyland, Avis, Hertz, Nike, Macy's, Kroger, Whole Foods, Taco Bell, Cracker Barrel, T-Mobile, Verizon, Mercedes-Benz Financial Services, Aston Martin & Bentley, Midland Honda, and others — across an installed base of more than 1 million units. The company holds SOC 2 Type II certification and produces audit trails mapped to Title 31, FINTRAC, and KYC regulatory regimes, which functions as a procurement gate in regulated industries. No external funding, acquisitions, or subsidiaries are disclosed; the firm operates as a single-entity private business with 11-50 employees.

Core offering

FraudFighter designs, manufactures, and distributes counterfeit currency detection hardware (automatic scanners such as the CT-600 and CT-250, manual UV detectors, handheld penlights, and money counters) along with identity authentication hardware/software (ID scanners paired with the FraudFighter ID and PALIDIN platforms, plus mobile and web tools) that verify government IDs, driver licenses, and passports at the point of sale. The combined offering produces auditable records used by retailers, banks, casinos, car rental agencies, and automotive dealers to stop counterfeit cash and fake-ID losses before money changes hands.

Product overview

FraudFighter offers a comprehensive fraud prevention portfolio centered on two core solutions: Counterfeit Detection and Identity Authentication. The Counterfeit Detection line includes automatic scanners (CT-600, CT-250) that check multiple security features (UV, infrared, magnetic ink, intaglio) in seconds, and manual UV detectors (ULED-2000, ULED-1500, UV-16P, HH-4, UV Pro Penlight) for verifying documents in various environments. The Identity Authentication platform combines hardware scanners (ID-150, AT10K, PAL-ID1) with FraudFighter ID/PALIDIN software, using machine learning and computer vision to authenticate government IDs, passports, and driver licenses while returning fraud risk scores. Mobile solutions include MobilVerify and WebID for on-the-go or web-based authentication. Money handling products (FF-3000, CountEasy 2, CountEasy TS) automate bill counting with authentication capabilities. Accessories include the BriteStik UV enhancer pen and replacement bulbs. The entire ID authentication ecosystem is powered by proprietary software with SDK integration capabilities for enterprise deployments.

• Regula: Regula manufactures document authentication hardware (OCR readers, MRZ/UV/IR scanners) and software for ID verification, with deep coverage of government-issued IDs globally. The product portfolio, channel mix, and customer use cases (border control, banking, retail) overlap tightly with FraudFighter's scanner and PALIDIN/FraudFighter ID offering.
• Intellicheck: Intellicheck delivers real-time ID authentication and age verification software targeting retail, financial services, and automotive dealers - the same verticals FraudFighter serves. Both companies focus on point-of-transaction fraud prevention with comparable sales channels into loss prevention and compliance buyers.
• Cassida: Cassida designs and sells counterfeit currency detectors, bill counters, and ID verification tools targeted at small businesses and retailers. Its product line (UV detectors, automatic scanners, money counters) competes head-to-head with FraudFighter's CT-600, CT-250, ULED, and CountEasy product families.
• Accubanker: Accubanker (parent of the Safescan brand) manufactures counterfeit detection lamps, automatic bill validators, and money counters used by retailers and banks. The product catalog and target buyer (SMB retailers, banking tellers) directly overlap with FraudFighter's counterfeit detection portfolio.

• Jumio: Jumio is a global online identity verification and KYC/AML platform serving banks, fintechs, and large enterprises. Although it operates software-only (no hardware), its end-to-end IDV and risk scoring competes for the same fraud-prevention and identity authentication budget that FraudFighter addresses, especially through FraudFighter ID and WebID.
• Veriff: Veriff provides online identity verification with AI-driven document authentication, selfie biometrics, and fraud signals, serving financial services, mobility, and other regulated verticals. Its software-first, API-based delivery model is the principal competitive alternative to FraudFighter's hardware-rooted approach for digital and remote use cases.

Broad incumbents
