Fintech · Fraud Detection

Fraud stopped at the signal, not the payout.

Real-time transaction monitoring, account-takeover detection, application-fraud scoring, and synthetic-identity graphs — models that catch fraud before the payment leaves the wallet.

What we build

A fraud stack that catches in milliseconds — and learns from every resolution.

Each capability is a production component — not a proof-of-concept — wired into your stack, documented for your risk committee, and monitored continuously.

Real-time decisioning (sub-100ms)

Transactions, logins, and applications scored inline before they commit. P99 under 100ms across the stack.

Network graph analytics

Account, device, and identity graphs detect ring fraud, collusion, and synthetic-identity clusters that single-applicant scoring misses.

Device + behavioural biometrics

Device fingerprinting, typing cadence, mouse movement, mobile sensor patterns — passive signals that don't add friction.

Application + synthetic-identity scoring

First-party and synthetic-ID models catch fraud at origination, before credit is extended.

Analyst case management

Built-in investigation workflow — case assignment, similar-case links, outcome capture — with the model learning from every resolution.

Adaptive thresholds + rules hybrid

ML scores plus deterministic rules, with thresholds auto-tuned to your false-positive tolerance and the cost of each fraud type.

Fraud domains we cover

One engine, every fraud vector.

Same ensemble scoring, graph layer, and analyst workflow — tuned per domain. Card, ATO, application, AML, merchant, insider all share the same infrastructure; only the feature set and thresholds change.

01

Card fraud (CNP + card-present)

Real-time authorisation scoring, 3DS step-up routing, chargeback reason analytics — for card issuers, acquirers, and PSPs.

02

Account takeover (ATO)

Login and session monitoring with device, behavioural, and geolocation signals — stops credential-stuffing and phishing-origin takeovers.

03

Application fraud + synthetic identity

First-party and synthetic-ID detection at origination — network-graph analytics surface rings that individual scoring misses.

04

AML transaction monitoring

Rule + model hybrid for suspicious patterns, structuring detection, and TBML typologies — with case workflow for SARs / STRs.

05

Merchant + e-commerce fraud

Checkout scoring, device trust, BIN analytics, and refund-fraud detection — for marketplaces and DTC brands.

06

Insider + first-party fraud

Employee-access anomalies, loan-stacking, friendly-chargeback patterns — models tuned to the tell-tales of internal or customer-driven fraud.

A walk-through

From event to outcome — in five clear steps.

Follow a real card-fraud investigation — from the millisecond it arrives, through enrichment and ensemble scoring, into the response and the analyst queue.

Model families we deploy

No single model catches every fraud. So we ensemble.

Each model family covers a distinct vector — device, graph, velocity, rules — blending their outputs into a single decision-ready score an analyst can always override.

SENSOR FUSION
Device + behavioural biometrics

Device fingerprint, network signals, typing cadence, mouse and touch patterns — high-signal features that cost the user nothing to generate.

LINK PREDICTION + COMMUNITIES
Network / graph analytics

Account, device, identity, and transaction graphs reveal rings, collusion, and synthetic-identity clusters in minutes, not quarters.

TIME-SERIES ML
Velocity + pattern classifiers

Burst detection, impossible-travel, unusual-merchant and unusual-amount patterns — calibrated to your own transaction history.

DETERMINISTIC LAYER
Rules engine + thresholds

Hard-coded compliance rules (BIN blocks, sanctions, policy caps) sit alongside the ML layer, with per-rule confidence tracking for trust calibration.

Data sources wired into every model

Every signal that moves the decision — integrated.

Pulled in parallel, normalised into a single feature schema, versioned alongside the model that consumes them.

Explainability, not just blocks

A decline alone doesn't satisfy the chargeback committee. A trail does.

Every allow, challenge, block, or flag is accompanied by the exact signals that triggered it, per-model contributions, rule-engine hits, and the case record an analyst (or a regulator) can walk through.

Compliance & governance

Built to pass the card scheme, the regulator, and the internal audit.

Regulator-ready from day one. Delivery includes documentation, model-risk review, champion/challenger infrastructure, and the monitoring your risk team will need when chargebacks get escalated.

Every point below ships with the model. Not bolted on later.

PCI DSS — Level 1 ready

Card data handled to PCI DSS v4.0 controls. Tokenisation, segmentation, access control, and logging all built to the standard auditors expect.

MAS Notice 626 + 656

Real-time fraud monitoring and suspicious-transaction reporting aligned to Singapore's current AML/CFT supervisory expectations.

Model risk management (SR 11-7)

Every fraud model versioned, back-tested across regimes, documented for independent validation. False-positive + detection-rate trade-offs reviewed on a cadence.

GDPR / PDPA data handling

Personal and behavioural data processed with lawful-basis documentation, data-minimisation, and regional residency — auditable per record.

PSD2 SCA orchestration

3DS2, exemptions handling, risk-based authentication routing — all tunable to your regulator's current posture on RTS exemptions.

Champion / challenger + retraining

New fraud models ship as challengers alongside the champion — performance compared on a shadow-book before promotion, with one-click rollback.

Why Axccelerate for fraud

Not a rules box.
A fraud stack.

A rules vendor gives you a decline. Our stack gives you device, behavioural, graph, velocity, adaptive thresholds, and a case-aware analyst workflow — the infrastructure a modern fraud team actually needs.

Glossary

The vocabulary behind every decision.

A quick reference for the acronyms that show up in fraud operations — the terms your risk team, scheme contact, and regulator will all use.

ATO
Account Takeover

Unauthorised access to a customer's account, typically via credential stuffing, phishing, or SIM-swap.

CNP
Card-Not-Present

Transactions where the card is used without physical presence — online checkout, MOTO, recurring billing.

CP
Card-Present

Transactions where the physical card is used at a point-of-sale terminal — chip-and-PIN, EMV, contactless.

3DS
3-D Secure

The authentication protocol for CNP transactions — 3DS1 (legacy) and 3DS2 (current, with frictionless-flow support).

SCA
Strong Customer Authentication

The PSD2 requirement in Europe for two-factor authentication on most electronic payments; with risk-based exemptions.

SAR
Suspicious Activity Report

A report filed by a regulated institution to its FIU when it detects transactions suspected of money laundering or terrorism financing.

STR
Suspicious Transaction Report

The Asian (especially Singapore / Malaysia) term for the same filing — submitted to the Suspicious Transaction Reporting Office.

OFAC
Office of Foreign Assets Control

The US Treasury office that administers sanctions programs; its SDN list is one of the world's most widely screened.

MCC
Merchant Category Code

A 4-digit code assigned to merchants by card networks — used in fraud analytics, reward programs, and AML risk tiering.

PCI DSS
Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard

The set of security requirements for any entity that stores, processes, or transmits cardholder data.

FP / TP
False Positive / True Positive

Fundamental fraud-model metrics — FP is a legitimate transaction flagged as fraud; TP is a fraud correctly caught.

EMV
Europay, Mastercard, Visa

The global chip-card standard — underpins CP authentication and limits the skimming attack surface.

TBML
Trade-Based Money Laundering

Moving illicit value across borders through over- or under-invoiced trade transactions; a priority AML typology.

SIM swap
SIM swap fraud

Social-engineering attack where the attacker ports a victim's mobile number to their own SIM to intercept 2FA SMS; a common ATO vector.
