Security Features of the SuperBusinessCheck
|
The SuperBusinessCheck is the most secure business check in the world. Designed
by Frank Abagnale with 15 safety features, the check is virtually impossible to
replicate or alter without the fraud being evident. Fully compatible with Check
21 environment, the safety features in the SuperBusinessCheck shown below
provide the greatest deterrence to check fraud available in a business check.
|
|
Overt Security Features:
Fourdrinier Watermark
|
|
The SuperBusinessCheck contains a Fourdrinier (true) watermark that is pressed
into the paper at the mill and is visible from either side when held to the
light. This dual-tone watermark provides instant authenticity of the document
and is impossible to replicate, copy or scan.
|
Thermochromatic Ink
|
|
The front of the SuperBusinessCheck contains pink "lock and key" icons printed with
thermochromatic (heat-sensitive) ink that fades when warmed and reappears when cooled.
These icons can be warmed (rub or breathe on them) for instant authentication of the check.
Color copiers cannot reproduce the reactivity of thermochromatic ink.
|
High-Resolution Borders
|
|
High-resolution borders are an ideal security feature because the design often distorts
when copied.
|
Prismatic Printing
|
|
The design of the SuperBusinessCheck includes a background of subtle gradations
between multiple colors. This level of color distinction is difficult to
reproduce on most color copiers.
|
Explicit Warning Bands
|
|
The SuperBusinessCheck has a warning banner that explicitly describes specific
overt security features and advises the recipient to look for these features
before accepting the check. This warning banner may also deter a forger from
"experimenting" with the check.
|
Chemical Wash Detection Box
|
|
The back of the SuperBusinessCheck contains a special box designed to deter check
washing. The check is sensitive to over 80 chemicals, and the box makes chemical
tampering instantly evident.
|
Sequenced Inventory Control Numbers
|
|
A sequenced inventory control number is printed on the back of each
SuperBusinessCheck. This number is imperative for audit and control purposes.
It discourages internal theft when a print log is religiously maintained.
Without this safety feature, employees can steal blank check stock with
impunity.
|
Laid Lines
|
|
Lines of varying width and spacing are printed on the back of each
SuperBusinessCheck to deter cut-and-paste alterations.
|
|
Covert Security Features:
Controlled Paper Stock
|
|
The SuperBusinessCheck is made with exclusively manufactured and tightly
controlled premium-grade security paper, which is nearly impossible for
criminals to obtain.
|
Fluorescent Ink
|
|
Under UV light, an authentic seal and Mr. Abagnale's "signature" appear on the
back of the SuperBusinessCheck, which serves to authenticate the check as original.
|
Fluorescent Fibers
|
|
The paper used for the SuperBusinessCheck contains ultraviolet light-sensitive
fibers that fluoresce under UV light and further serve as an authentication tool.
|
Chemically Reactive Paper
|
|
The SuperBusinessCheck reacts to 85 different chemicals. When chemically
washed, the SuperBusinessCheck and its chemical wash detection box discolor,
and no longer look like the original document.
|
Chemically Reactive Ink
|
|
The dark blue border is printed with chemically reactive SIPCA ink and
disappears when soaked in acetone, a criminal's "chemical of choice."
|
Toner Anchorage
|
|
The SuperBusinessCheck is treated with toner anchorage that bonds the toner
onto the paper when printed with a laser printer. Without toner anchorage,
criminals can alter laser checks by lifting off the printing with plastic tape.
|
Copy Void Pantograph
|
|
This patented security feature is an indiscernible dot pattern designed into
the background of the check. When the check is copied or scanned by most
copiers, the word "void" appears and invalidates the copy.
|
Microprinting
|
|
The SuperBusinessCheck contains printing so small that it appears as a solid
line to the human eye. When scanned or photocopied, microprinting will often
blur on the copy.
