Case study
€180K in fraud prevented annually through AI document detection
Facing document fraud rising 15% annually, this Irish insurance company deployed CheckFile to protect its 1,800 monthly claims.
Context
Industry
Irish general insurer (motor, home, commercial)
Volume
1,800 claims processed per month
Tools
Claims management software, loss adjusters, broker network
Team
10 claims handlers
The problem
Document fraud was becoming increasingly costly. Claims handlers, focused on indemnification speed, lacked the means to check everything.
- Document fraud rising 15% annually on general insurance claims
- Altered documents (dates, amounts, photos) undetectable by eye
- Manual verification impossible at scale: 1,800 claims/month
- Indemnification delays too long, causing policyholder dissatisfaction
- Fraud cost estimated at €250,000 per year before deployment
The solution
CheckFile.ai analyses each claim document for anomalies: date inconsistencies, suspicious amounts, altered metadata, retouched documents.
- Automatic metadata and document consistency analysis
- Detection of date inconsistencies between declaration and documents
- Flagging of abnormal amounts relative to claims history
- Risk score per file to prioritise manual reviews

“We knew fraud was costing us, but we lacked the tools to address it at scale. CheckFile detected fraud patterns no handler could have seen. And our legitimate policyholders get paid faster.”
