Fast Response Time: Designed for speed, the solution guarantees swift responses to potential fraud, meeting the demand for instant transaction processing without compromising security.

Dedicated IP Fraud Management: With specialized workflows, blacklists/whitelists, and provisional restriction lists, the solution provides a comprehensive approach to managing instant payment fraud.

Holistic Profiling: The solution integrates holistic profiling risk models that consider both instant payments and traditional credit transfers, offering a broader perspective for fraud detection.

Scalability: As the volume of instant payments grows, the solution is designed to scale efficiently, ensuring continued protection without sacrificing performance.

The solution ensures that your institution can offer the convenience of instant payments while maintaining robust security measures. By integrating this solution with your existing systems, you can confidently manage the risks associated with instant transactions.

Community Scoring and Intelligence: Why, What, How, Where?

Fraudsters are getting smarter and more coordinated, making it tougher for financial institutions to stay ahead. Scams are especially hard to detect, and criminals are using more and more banks accounts as money mules for illicit money transfers. But criminals often reuse beneficiary accounts, which may have already been used to defraud others….

Here’s where the strength of community lies. By leveraging collective intelligence through NetGuardians’ CS&I, you can share and receive insights on financial crime activities to better detect fraudulent transactions and to identify money mule beneficiaries.

Please note that this solution is currently available in Switzerland. We’re building an equivalent initiative in Kenya.

Key Benefits:

Enhanced AI Scoring: Ingest external indicators to strengthen your existing risk models.

Improved Detection Rates: Boost fraud/scam detection by up to 20%

Improved Detection Rates: Boost fraud/scam detection by up to 20%
