Kinective announced it has acquired OrboGraph, bringing advanced, AI-powered check fraud prevention capabilities to its banking operations platform.
The deal marks Kinective’s strategic expansion into AI-driven fraud detection, addressing a growing challenge for financial institutions amid a surge in check fraud in recent years. By integrating OrboGraph’s technology, Kinective aims to enhance protection across its network of more than 4,000 banks and credit unions.
OrboGraph brings over three decades of experience in artificial intelligence and machine learning, including its OrbNet AI platform, which delivers check recognition accuracy exceeding 99 percent. The system enables fraud detection across multiple banking channels, including teller operations, ATMs, mobile deposits, and lockbox processing, with reported detection success rates above 95 percent.
The combined platform will allow financial institutions to monitor transactions in real time across physical and digital channels, strengthening defenses against counterfeits, forgeries, and altered checks while also enabling features such as payee verification for business checks.
Kinective said the acquisition builds on its broader strategy of expanding its intelligent banking platform through targeted deals. The company has completed multiple acquisitions across areas such as cash automation, device management, data intelligence, document workflows, and digital connectivity.
OrboGraph will continue supporting its existing customers while integrating its capabilities into Kinective’s broader platform.
