Has anyone implemented RFC fraud prevention as part of a payment or lending system? We're seeing an uptick in applications using invalid or borrowed RFCs, and want to add a layer that catches this early.

The specific signals I want to check: (1) RFC format valid, (2) RFC exists in SAT registry, (3) RFC not on the 69-B blacklist, (4) RFC matches the name the user provided. I'm treating these as separate API calls or a combined enrichment step.

Are there any providers that bundle all four checks into one RFC fraud prevention API call? And what's the typical false positive rate on these checks?

Some providers bundle format + SAT existence + 69-B check in one call. Name matching is usually fuzzy — watch for accents and abbreviations causing false positives on legitimate users.

For RFC fraud prevention, also check that the RFC issue date makes sense relative to the business founding date. Newly-minted RFCs on old companies are a red flag.
