The Problem

Online fraud costs merchants $48B+ annually. SMBs lose 1–3% of revenue to fraudulent transactions. Chargeback fees are $25–$100 per dispute regardless of outcome. Enterprise fraud tools cost $10K–$100K/yr. Stripe Radar catches only 60–70% of sophisticated fraud. False positives block 5–10% of legitimate sales.

The Solution

AI fraud detection built for SMBs that analyzes transaction patterns, device fingerprints, and behavioral signals in real-time — blocking fraud while minimizing false positives and maximizing legitimate sales approval.
