No malware. No system breach. Just a convincing email and a process with no hard stop.The fraud is invisible until the money is gone — and by then the only question left is who absorbs the loss.

Case: Business email compromise / CEO impersonation

The Finance Employee

He went to work that morning thinking he was doing his job well. The email looked exactly like every other instruction from the CEO. It had the right tone, the right urgency, the right language. He followed it.When the fraud was discovered, the professional shame was immediate. In cases like this, the employee is often the first one investigated. Careers end. Some are terminated even when they were the victim. Someone who spent years building a reputation for precision became the person who wired $54 million to criminals.

Case: Business email compromise / CEO impersonation

The Impersonated CEO

He never sent the email. He never authorized the wire. His name, his authority, and his voice were reconstructed by criminals and used against his own company.The executive who was impersonated carries the weight of knowing their identity was weaponized. The company survives. But the trust inside that finance department never fully recovers.

Case: Vendor payment diversion

The Parish Administrator

This was a church. The money didn't belong to a corporation with a fraud reserve. It came from years of congregant donations, capital campaigns, bake sales, legacy gifts from people who had passed.The administrator who approved the wire was a trusted, longtime member of staff with no reason to suspect anything. That person now carries the weight of what happened — the betrayal of a community's faith, in every sense of the word.
What Coffr verifies

Four checks, one verdict.

Every instruction is resolved against the entity, the person, the account and the request itself — in real time, before the payment is sent.

The company

Legal entity, registration and standing confirmed against authoritative records — not against the email signature.

The professional

The person authorising the request is who they claim to be, at the company they claim to work for.

The account

Bank account ownership matched to the verified entity before a cent moves.

The instruction

The request itself is checked for diversion, tampering and impersonation, then sealed with cryptographic proof.

How it works

Five steps. Live in ten minutes or less.

  1. Connect your bank

    Secure, read-only link to your accounts. No passwords stored. No funds move through Coffr.

  2. Verify the counterparty

    Patent-pending cryptographic verification proves the company, the professional and the account in real time — before any payment instruction is sent.

  3. Share verified details

    Bank details move through Coffr's encrypted platform, not email or PDF. You pay through your existing system with confidence.

  4. Receive proof

    Cryptographic proof that verification occurred before the instruction ever reached your system. Auditable. Tamper-proof. Forever.

  5. Sleep soundly

    Your $5M guarantee protects every verified instruction for 90 days. Fraud passes our verification? We cover it.
