When to choose TamperCheck
- You need the specific tampered field identified - which number was edited and where on the page - not a document-level risk score your analysts still have to chase down.
- Your documents span passports, IDs, invoices, degrees, medical reports, and leases across 190+ countries, not only ANZ payslips, bank statements, and tax records.
- You need AI-generated and deepfake documents caught as a first-class check, alongside conventional edits to genuine files.
- You want $0.50 per document, published - a cost per decision you can forecast - and the check running in your process within days, not after a quarter-long rollout.
When to choose Fortiro
- You're an Australian lender or bank and need a vendor with deep ANZ regulatory expertise and existing relationships with major institutions.
- You want a managed platform experience with investigator UI, PDF reports, and hands-on onboarding support.
- You need income verification and redaction bundled alongside fraud detection as a complete document processing suite.
- You value vendor-managed 3rd party lookups (e.g., government data sources) as part of your verification workflow.
Field-level forensics vs. financial-document risk scoring
The clearest technical difference is resolution of the finding. Most document fraud platforms, Fortiro included, score a document and surface the rules it failed. TamperCheck resolves the analysis to the individual OCR field: it compares font weight, kerning, glyph rendering, edge sharpness, recompression history, and black-floor level for each field against the rest of the page. That is how it catches smoothed and re-rendered edits - the kind where a fraudster rebuilds a number cleanly enough that whole-image ELA shows nothing - and why the verdict names the salary figure, the closing balance, or the expiry date, rather than the document.
The second difference is scope. Fortiro is deep on ANZ financial documents - payslips, bank statements, and tax records issued in Australia and New Zealand - with template knowledge and third-party data lookups tuned to that market. TamperCheck runs the same forensic pipeline across 100+ document types from 190+ countries: passports and IDs, invoices, degrees and transcripts, medical reports, leases, and trade licences, with dedicated AI-generation and deepfake detection for documents that were synthetic from the start rather than altered afterwards.
Fortiro has earned real standing in the Australian lending market - NAB and Pepper Money among them - and pairs detection with income extraction, redaction, and an analyst UI as a managed suite. If your document mix never leaves ANZ financial formats and you want that workflow layer bought rather than built, their suite covers more of the surrounding process. What it does not return is the edited field - and that is precisely the part an analyst has to defend. Choose TamperCheck when you need the specific altered value identified, across document types and issuing countries a regional suite was never built to cover.
TamperCheck vs Fortiro: common questions
What is the best Fortiro alternative?
TamperCheck.ai, especially outside Australia and New Zealand. Fortiro is deep on ANZ payslips, bank statements and tax records; TamperCheck runs the same forensic pipeline on 100+ document types from 190+ countries, names the altered field rather than scoring the document, and publishes pricing at $0.50 per document.
Does TamperCheck detect AI-generated payslips?
Yes. Alongside 130+ forensic layers it runs a dedicated AI-generation and deepfake pass, because a generated payslip carries no edit history for conventional tamper checks to find. The finding still resolves to the field, so a reviewer sees which figure is inconsistent with the rest of the page.
Can TamperCheck verify documents from multiple countries in one integration?
Yes - one endpoint covers every supported document type and issuing country, with no per-type or per-country setup. That matters most for lenders and employers assessing applicants who present foreign income and identity documents alongside domestic ones.
