When to choose TamperCheck
- You need to verify documents globally — not just ANZ financial documents — including passports, IDs, invoices, degrees, and medical records across 190+ countries.
- You want transparent, published pricing ($0.50/doc) without annual contracts or mandatory sales conversations.
- You need BYOK to use your own AI provider agreements and keep token spend under your direct control.
- You're a developer or product team building a custom workflow and want a simple API call, not a managed platform with user interfaces.
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.
Regional enterprise suite vs. global API microservice
Fortiro has built a strong reputation in the Australian lending market — trusted by major banks like NAB and specialist lenders like Pepper Money. Their platform combines fraud detection, income extraction, and document redaction into a managed suite with user interfaces for analysts and pre-built integrations.
TamperCheck takes a different approach: one global API for document tampering detection, with transparent per-document pricing, BYOK for AI model control, and zero document storage. If you're building your own workflows and need to verify documents beyond ANZ financial formats, TamperCheck provides the forensic depth without the platform overhead.
Choose Fortiro when you need a vendor-managed solution with regional expertise and bundled services. Choose TamperCheck when you want developer-first infrastructure with predictable costs and global document coverage.
