FRAUD PREVENTION MADE SIMPLE

What are counterfeit detectors & how do they work?

Counterfeit detectors can detect counterfeit:

• Money
• Debit/Credit Cards
• Checks
• ... & More

The majority of counterfeit detectors use ultraviolet (UV) light to check for security features revealed only by ultraviolet light - more sophisticated counterfeit detectors check a variety of other security features, such as paper thickness, to authenticate money.

Counterfeit detectors can be placed into two categories: manual and automatic.

• When using a manual counterfeit detector, you need to check each bill as it is placed in the machine to check the revealed security features against known security features.
• Automatic counterfeit detectors, on the other hand, will do all the work for you.

Just like a car, 'manual' means making some decisions yourself and 'automatic' means leaving the decisions up to the machine.

Are counterfeit detectors easy to use?

Yes! Our counterfeit detectors are incredibly easy to use! Whether you get a manual or automatic, determining the authenticity of the bill takes just a second; sophisticated automatic counterfeit detectors can actually check the authenticity of many bills in that same length of time.

• For manual counterfeit detectors, simply place the bill in question under the UV lights and see if the bill's UV security features line up with known security features as shown on a strip along the bottom on the detector.
• For automatic counterfeit detectors, all you have to do is either feed each bill through the machine or place a stack on the loading tray to let the machine do all the work for you.

Which type of counterfeit detector is right for my business?

The type of counterfeit detector that is right for your business depends on the type of business you have. For example, retailers often need to prevent fraud at the point-of-sale, making manual counterfeit detectors a more effective choice due to their smaller size and discretion. Banks, in contrast, typically need to process many bills often and quickly, making automatic counterfeit detectors a more effective choice for their industry.
