Positioning

Real fraud prevention lives in seconds, not in dashboards.

Instant payments, BNPL and digital-first checkout gave fraud a low-friction, high-velocity playing field. A proprietary, owned-data, case-auditable model is the only way to keep loss controlled without burning conversion. Off-the-shelf SaaS arrives late — and costs more when the attacker pivots.

Under the hood

A stack that scores in <100ms.

Real-time fraud is a latency problem before it's a model problem. The stack below prioritizes light inference, pre-computed features and signed audit logs on every decision.

Models

  • XGBoost / LightGBMDefault for real-time scoring (<50ms).
  • Graph Neural NetworksOn relationship and device fingerprint networks.
  • Auxiliary LLMCase review and human-readable explanation.

Features

  • In-RAM feature store (Redis)For sub-ms reads.
  • Velocity featuresRolling 1m / 5m / 1h / 24h windows.
  • Device + behavioralFingerprint, session, typing pattern.

Pipeline

  • Kafka + FlinkStream processing at scale.
  • gRPC + ProtobufLow-latency internal communication.
  • HSM + rotated keysPer-decision signature.
Compliance

Fraud prevention with AI — what the regulator looks at.

Transactional fraud crosses at least 4 regulatory frameworks. We treat each block decision as an auditable act: payload, model, version, features and justification all signed.

PCI-DSSPayment Card Industry Data Security

Pipelines touching card data require tokenization, segmentation, annual SAQ-D audit and signed logs. Fraud models run in PCI-isolated environments.

BACEN 4.658Cybersecurity Policy

Defines requirements for detection models in critical financial pipelines: BCP, incident management and risk classification before deployment.

LGPDAutomated decision and right to review

AI block is automated decision — requires right to human review, justification accessible to the data subject, and documented DPIA. We implement contestation endpoint by design.

Open FinanceBanking data sharing

Models consuming open finance data must respect granular consent, declared scope and immediate revocation. Consent audit runs in parallel with scoring.

In production

Results in fraud prevention.

−68%

Chargeback · marketplace

Model combining behavioral, relationship graphs and device fingerprint. Chargeback fell 68% with no proportional false-positive increase.

−54%

False positives · digital bank

Refinement of existing model with semantic features. False positives fell 54%, improving experience without losing fraud coverage.

<80ms

Scoring latency · acquirer

Real-time scoring pipeline with 80ms median latency. Critical for payment flow without impacting checkout.

Frequently asked

About AI fraud prevention.

Real-time PIX?

Yes. PIX requires scoring in <300ms in most cases; our deployments sit around 80-150ms including enrichment.

Do you compete with Sift, Sardine, ClearSale?

Not directly. We work with customers who want their own model (not third-party dependency), whether for regulation, cost or data ownership.

How do we audit block decisions?

Each decision has feature contributions, versioned model and signed payload. In case of contest, the exact decision can be reproduced.

What about new fraud patterns?

Models have periodic retraining + drift monitoring. New patterns trigger drift alert before materially affecting performance.
