Former fraud expert Frank Abagnale often shares a simple security habit. The pen you use matters. Despite owning luxury writing instruments, he recommends the Uni-ball 207 for signing checks and important documents.
Many traditional pens use dye based ink. Certain chemicals can be used in a fraud technique known as check washing, where ink is removed from a check and the details are rewritten. Pigment based gel ink, like that used in the Uni-ball 207, bonds more deeply with paper fibers and is significantly more resistant to common chemical alteration methods. While no ink is completely immune under all conditions, pigment based ink can substantially reduce the risk of tampering compared to many standard pens.
Many banks and financial institutions provide pigment based pens for this practical reason. A simple two dollar tool can help prevent costly fraud. It is not about the price of the pen. It is about the protection it provides.
Broader lesson: Effective risk management is often quiet and unremarkable. Small, informed decisions can create meaningful protection over time. In business and in life, the details you overlook are often the ones that matter most.
