The Fraud & AML brain for every PSP, merchant and bank on Akurateco.

Fraudio is already wired into the Akurateco platform. Every customer running on your gateway can switch on Gen-3, AI-native fraud and AML protection without an integration project — live in days, not months, on a single centralised AI trained across 2M+ merchants and 500M+ cards.

Connector live in Akurateco Card & Merchant Fraud AML & Money Mule APP Fraud <100ms real-time
Connector live in the Akurateco platform

No integration. No procurement loop. No 6-month project.

Fraudio is one of the fraud and AML providers wired directly into Akurateco's gateway. For any PSP, merchant or bank on your platform, turning Fraudio on is a configuration — not an engineering programme. Your customer keeps their gateway, their acquirer, their tech stack; they add best-in-class fraud and AML on top.

Zero integration cost

The connector exists. Your customer doesn't write a single line of code to start scoring transactions.

Live in days, not months

Activation in days for customers already on Akurateco — vs. the 3-6 months a fraud vendor swap usually demands.

Sub-100ms scoring

Real-time decisioning on the authorisation flow, with no extra latency on the Akurateco stack.

Pay-per-use SaaS

No setup fee, no minimum, no rip-and-replace. Customers pay only for what they score.

Why it matters

The three generations of fraud detection — and why Gen 3 is the only one that scales on Akurateco.

Every fraud vendor your customers have looked at fits into one of three buckets. The generation matters more than the brand.

Generation 1

Rules-based

Human-written if/then logic. Cheap to start, expensive to maintain, blind to what it wasn't written for.

  • Manual rule authoring
  • False positives balloon over time
  • Analyst headcount scales with volume
  • New fraud patterns take weeks to codify
Generation 2

Bespoke ML

Machine-learning models trained on a single institution's data. Better than rules, capped by the data of one shop.

  • Siloed data, siloed model
  • Cold-start problem for new merchants
  • Every customer trains their own model
  • No cross-customer learning at all
Generation 3 · Fraudio

Centralised AI + network effect

One AI brain, trained on the aggregated behaviour of every merchant and card on the network — every new customer strengthens the model for everyone.

  • Up to 30x better than single-dataset models
  • Fraud scores from day one, cold-start solved
  • Patent-pending network effect
  • Rules engine on top for scheme & local compliance
Deep dive

How AI + rules work together for acquiring.

Best-in-class AI catches what static rules can't. A curated, transparent rule library covers the scheme obligations (VAMP, SMMP), the local regulatory requirements, and the operator's own risk appetite — layered on top of the AI, not instead of it. This is the acquiring-specific walkthrough of how the two work together inside Fraudio.

The conversations we keep having

What Akurateco's customers ask for, again and again.

PSPs and merchants on Akurateco are scaling fast — into new geographies, new payment methods, new merchant types. Their fraud and AML stack rarely keeps up.

“My rules engine can't keep up.”

Mule networks, first-party fraud and merchant laundering mutate faster than any internal rules team can write. Detection slips while cost climbs.

“I need AML I can defend in audit.”

Regulators want explainable decisions, model governance and evidence packs — not a black box. Most legacy tools cannot produce them.

“I can't wait six months for it.”

Procuring, integrating and tuning a new fraud vendor traditionally kills a quarter or two. The fraudsters don't wait.

“VAMP and SMMP are a headache.”

The scheme monitoring programmes are getting stricter every year. One bad quarter costs real money and real reputation.

“My analyst team is drowning.”

Alert volume climbs, analyst headcount doesn't. Something has to prioritise, explain and dispose of alerts intelligently or the queue never clears.

“I don't want another vendor project.”

Every new fraud vendor means integration, procurement, security review, tuning. On Akurateco with Fraudio, none of that is on the critical path.

The full product line, on tap

Everything an Akurateco customer needs to run fraud, AML and compliance — one platform.

All of it live behind the Akurateco connector. Turn on what a specific customer needs, add the rest later. No re-integration.

01Card Payment Fraud Detection

Real-time transaction scoring on card-present and card-not-present flows. Catches CNP, account-takeover, first-party, friendly-fraud and testing attacks.

  • Sub-100ms inference in the auth window
  • Reason codes on every decision
  • 3DS orchestration & scheme-compliant scoring
  • Chargeback protection tuning

02Merchant Initiated Fraud Detection

Monitors merchants on the platform for fraud, laundering, testing-account behaviour and transaction-laundering patterns. Critical for acquirers and PSPs.

  • Merchant behavioural profiling
  • VAMP & SMMP-aligned scoring
  • Transaction laundering detection
  • Portfolio-level dashboards

03Anti-Money Laundering (AML)

Real-time AML transaction monitoring with a curated regulatory rule library plus AI models for the typologies rules never catch alone.

  • Structuring, layering, smurfing detection
  • High-risk corridor and network typologies
  • Full case management & audit trail
  • SAR / STR-ready export

04Authorised Push Payment (APP) Fraud

Push-payment scam detection on instant-payment rails — SEPA Instant, Faster Payments, PIX, PayShap and equivalents. Increasingly regulator-mandated.

  • Real-time push-payment scoring
  • Beneficiary risk profile
  • Social-engineering pattern detection
  • Regulator-ready evidence pack

05Money Mule Detection

Identifies mule accounts, mule networks and the on-boarding red flags mule recruiters exploit. Live on issuers and PSPs across multiple continents.

  • Network-graph mule detection
  • First-party and third-party mule patterns
  • Onboarding-stage red flags
  • Continuous re-scoring of existing accounts

06Rule Library + AI Orchestration

The AI model does not replace rules — it lives alongside a curated, versioned rule library. Scheme rules, local regulatory rules and the customer's own rules, all in one place.

  • VAMP / SMMP native rule sets
  • Local regulatory rule libraries
  • Customer-authored rules with version history
  • Every rule and model output explainable
Under the hood

What makes the AI actually work.

Fraudio's AI is built on a centralised, homogeneous data set combining issuing, acquiring and account-to-account transactions across every customer on the network — segmented by MCC, geography, channel and merchant category.

Supervised models catch known fraud typologies with the labels the network has already learned. Unsupervised models detect novel anomalies without any prior labels — critical for the fraud patterns none of us has seen yet. Every decision ships with reason codes and feature attribution: not a black box, defensible in front of any regulator, any auditor, any customer investigation team.

Model governance is baked in. Every model version is stamped on every decision. Every rule change is versioned. Every operator action is auditable. Regulators can be given their own read-only users into the same environment.

The moat

The network effect no siloed vendor can match.

Traditional fraud vendors train a model per customer. Every new customer starts cold, every model is capped by one shop's data, every fraud pattern has to be seen inside that shop before it can be caught.

Fraudio flipped this. One centralised AI, trained on the pooled behaviour of every merchant and every card on the network — without exposing individual customer data. Every new customer on Akurateco who turns Fraudio on strengthens the model for every other customer on the network. Patent-pending, and unique in the market.

For Akurateco specifically, this means every PSP or merchant that comes into the Fraudio ecosystem through the Akurateco connector makes the protection stronger for the ones already there.

Better detection than a single-dataset model

Every new customer that joins the network improves the model for every other customer — without ever sharing raw data across accounts.
