Best for Fintechs and banks that need onboarding, payment fraud and AML monitoring in one platform, weighted toward behavioral-biometric detection. Digital businesses that want fraud scoring backed by a large shared consortium network rather than building models from their own data alone. Growing merchants and fintechs that want fast self-serve setup and digital-footprint-driven fraud checks before paying for enterprise scale. Fraud and AML ops teams that want to configure detection rules and run investigations themselves without engineering support. Banks and fintechs that want to combine multiple third-party identity and fraud data sources into one onboarding decision.
