Fraud Detection and Resolution, Built for Higher Education

Introducing Bolt Fraud Detection and Resolution. AI agents will screen every applicant automatically, verify identity when something looks off, and give your team one place to review the evidence and decide.

In development. Element451's existing fraud detection is available today. The expanded capabilities on this page are planned

Detection, Verification, and Follow-Up in One Place

Fraud drains staff time and financial aid dollars, and catching it early is only the first step. Bolt Fraud Detection and Resolution will put AI agents to work on what comes next, verifying identity, following up with applicants, and moving every flagged case to a documented decision. Your staff always make the final call.

Works With What You Already Run

Your institution already has a CRM, an SIS, and maybe a fraud tool. Whether its our Element AI-native CRM or another Bolt Fraud Detection and Resolution will fit into that stack without a rip-and-replace, so your team can start working cases without a migration project.

On Your Existing CRM

Run it on Element451 or another CRM your institution already uses.

Synced to Your SIS

Connect through a managed integration with a two-way sync to your current SIS.

Alongside Your Fraud Tool

Works with an external fraud tool you already have in place.

Screen Every Applicant Without Adding Staff Hours

Fraudulent applications hide in volume, and no team has the hours to review every record by hand. Socure's predictive models and Bolt Agents' contextual assessment will screen every applicant automatically, so your staff can spend their time only on the records that actually need a closer look.

Give Every Flagged Case an Owner

Once a flag goes up, the evidence usually lives across disconnected systems, and the case sits with no clear owner. Bolt will bring the evidence, reasoning, and verification history into one shared workspace, exportable to other platforms.

Move Every Case to a Documented Decision

Fraud cases stall when verification requests go unanswered. Bolt Agents will follow up with applicants, coordinate verification, and escalate cases that need human review. Staff always make the final call, and every decision gets documented.

Built With Socure

Element451 has partnered with Socure, the leading identity verification and fraud prevention company. Socure's models are built for higher ed fraud patterns, like shared addresses and reused Social Security numbers. Paired with Bolt Agents, your team will get a clearer read on every applicant without slowing down real students.

Before Element451, we were manually combing through applications trying to spot inconsistencies, like a birth date that didn't line up with a high school graduation year, and I'm sure we missed a lot of fraud in the process. Now we catch it early and can act with confidence. Without that, we'd likely be finding these cases too late, after financial aid funds were already gone. — Scott Branum, Director of Admissions and Registrar at Galveston College
