Fraud Firewall for Financial Aid: Compliance-ready Protection

Financial aid fraud impacts your ability to award financial aid and creates intensive manual processes. Our solution streamlines Identity Assurance Level 2 (IAL2)-compliant identity verification for ISIR v4 verification statuses and ISIR comment code fraud verification statuses, reduces manual workload, and securely documents every step.

The workflow uses the same advanced, AI-powered fraud detection built specifically for higher education as our admissions workflow. If the admissions workflow is also implemented, Voyatek can leverage previously performed passive or active document/selfie identity verification from the admission application, saving you time and money.

Our cloud-based platform integrates seamlessly with your existing ERP financial aid module or financial aid service provider and ensures a comprehensive review. The financial aid workflows:

  • Automatically detect financial aid applications requiring identity verification using integration with your ERP financial aid system
  • Compare data provided on the ISIR record with that on the corresponding admissions application (if available) to detect risk of identity takeover or synthetic identity
  • Rapidly detect and block fake or suspicious applications
  • Automate identity and document verification with real-time risk scoring and liveness checks
  • Allow manual override of results or manual triggering of an identity verification if desired
  • Simplify fraud case reporting to the Federal Student Aid Inspector General hotline portal
  • Minimize manual effort and reduce costs through highly accurate, targeted application review
  • Integrate easily with your current financial aid processes and data systems
