Fraud Detection & Transaction Risk

Cybera

Cybera sells banks, crypto platforms and cyber insurers two products aimed at authorized payment scams. Mule Intelligence feeds accounts and wallet addresses used by scammers into an institution's transaction monitoring, customer risk scoring and suspicious activity reporting by API, so outgoing payments can be blocked and mule accounts in its own customer base surfaced; the company describes the intelligence as non probabilistic, verified through direct investigation and drawn from active defense operations, victim reports and enforcement partners.

Scam Response handles the aftermath, dispatching victim cases to law enforcement, beneficiary banks and exchanges while a team manages victim communications for the institution. Cybera was founded by two brothers, a Swiss cybercrime prosecutor and a business executive, stores data in Switzerland by default, and reports more than $10 million recovered and more than 10,000 victims assisted.

Capability Axes

Capability grades

15 of 15 axes rated · 5 graded A or B

AI Capability
AI Centrality
BB on AI CentralityThe models are the engine of a core capability, layered on a product that would still function without them as a rules or workflow system.
Vendor Published

Every listed account is verified through direct interaction and investigation, so the defining asset is human intelligence gathering rather than a model. Models handle throughput, processing scam reports and surfacing patterns across mule networks at a volume no team could read.

Autonomy and Oversight Model
BB on Autonomy and Oversight ModelA written commitment that the models work alongside human judgment, with real review surfaces, short of the full control structure: commonly the threshold at which the system stops or what happens after it is wrong.
Vendor Published

Matches inform decisions the bank already owns, and case dispatch to authorities is automated while people handle victim communications. How an account is reviewed before it enters the feed is not described.

Model Risk Management and Transparency
CC on Model Risk Management and TransparencyTransparency is claimed in general terms with no mechanism a model validator could interrogate.
Vendor Published

Proven accuracy and zero guesswork are claimed, yet no accuracy figure, verification procedure or evidence standard is published. For an output that brands accounts as criminal, how often a listing proves wrong is the missing disclosure.

Operational and Outcome Evidence
BB on Operational and Outcome EvidenceVendor aggregate claims with real figures, or audited scale disclosures from a publicly listed company.
Vendor Published

More than 50 million customers secured, $10 million recovered and 10,000 victims assisted are real aggregate figures. Banks, exchanges and insurers are never named as customers, and no figure is joined to an institution.

AI Safety and Data Stewardship
CC on AI Safety and Data StewardshipGeneral assurances that do not answer the question this axis asks, which is whether one customer’s data trains models serving its competitors. Unbounded cross client learning stated with no boundary grades here too.
Vendor Published

Scams suffered by one institution's customers produce watchlist entries every other subscriber uses, which is the mechanism's value. What an institution contributes through the response service, what consent victims give and how long entries persist are not stated.

Regulatory and Compliance
GLBA and Data Privacy Posture
CC on GLBA and Data Privacy PostureA standard privacy policy that covers the website rather than the service, or silence on a product that touches limited consumer data.
Vendor Published

Victim reports carry the circumstances of a loss with personal and account details, and the feed names specific accounts and wallets as belonging to scammers across many institutions. The privacy policy, updated May 13, 2025, covers data controlled through the website and app and expressly excludes service provider processing.

Security Certifications and Trust Center
CC on Security Certifications and Trust CenterA single footer line, or certifications asserted without being enumerated, which is weaker than naming them because it invites an assumption a buyer cannot check.
Vendor Published

Independent auditors are said to assess security, with no standard, auditor or report named. Certifications and a trust portal are absent from the homepage, product and company pages.

Regulatory Status and Licensure
CC on Regulatory Status and LicensureThe regulatory position is unstated. Most vendors in this index are technology suppliers and being unlicensed is the correct posture, so this grade records silence about the posture, not a missing license.
Vendor Published

Anti money laundering pressure is referenced in general terms, with no supervisor, statute or instrument named. Advisors Marcel Rohner, president of the Swiss Bankers Association, and Craig Jones, formerly of INTERPOL, bring experience rather than a regulatory position, and mandatory push payment reimbursement is not mentioned.

AI Governance and Bias Disclosure
CC on AI Governance and Bias DisclosureResponsible artificial intelligence committed to in policy language with no evaluation behind it, on a product whose bias surface is modest.
Vendor Published

Identifying mules by investigation rather than behavioral scoring avoids freezing people whose only offense is transacting unusually. Mule account holders are often coerced or recruited victims themselves, and listing accuracy is not evaluated in anything published.

AI Liability and Recourse
DD on AI Liability and RecourseNothing published on who bears the loss when the system is wrong.
Vendor Published

Wrongly listed account holders can have payments blocked or accounts closed across every subscribing institution, yet no evidence behind a listing, review or removal process, or route to contest is described. Scam Response helps victims recover money, which is the product's function rather than recourse for an error in the feed.

Integration and Deployment
Model Supply Chain Disclosure
CC on Model Supply Chain DisclosureThe architecture is described and no provider is named.
Vendor Published

Active defense operations, victim reports and enforcement partners are the sources, described by type only. Partners, data suppliers and model providers are unnamed, and no subprocessor list is published.

Core Systems and Integration Depth
CC on Core Systems and Integration DepthIntegration claimed through standards or connectors with no system named and nothing to verify.
Vendor Published

An API delivers matches into transaction monitoring, risk scoring and suspicious activity reporting, but no platform, vendor or system is named. Developer documentation is not linked.

Deployment Model and Data Residency
BB on Deployment Model and Data ResidencyStated residency commitments or regional hosting options.
Vendor Published

Switzerland is the default storage location unless a contract says otherwise, with transfers to the United States under adequate controls. Case dispatch to agencies and beneficiary institutions worldwide makes the service cross border by nature.

Commercial
Commercial Transparency
CC on Commercial TransparencyNo price is published and engagement runs through a demo form, which is the norm in this index.
Vendor Published

A partner inquiry form is the only entry, with no price for either product. An intelligence feed and a staffed victim response service differ in kind, so the missing basis of charge matters twice over.

Institution and Segment Coverage
BB on Institution and Segment CoverageNamed segments with dedicated material behind part of the coverage.
Vendor Published

Banks, crypto platforms and cyber insurers each get an industry page, the last sitting where scam losses become claims. Subject coverage stays narrow, authorized payment scams and the mule networks receiving the money, and no institution is named in any segment.
