A method of detecting fraud involving a check being cashed includes reading electronic information from an ID; reading visible information from a face of the ID; determining if the electronic information from the ID matches the visible information from the ID; and if the electronic information from the ID does not match the visible information from the ID, preventing the check from being cashed. A system for detecting fraud involving a check being cashed includes a first ID read module, a second ID read module, a first match module, and a first not cash module. The first ID read module reads electronic information from an ID. The second ID read module reads visible information from a face of the ID. The first match module determines if the electronic information from the ID matches the visible information from the ID. The first not cash module prevents the check from being cashed if the electronic information from the ID does not match the visible information from the ID.
