Fraud Detection & Transaction Risk
F

Fraudio

Fraudio is an Amsterdam company founded in 2019 by João Moura and Nathan Trousdell, both from the payments industry, selling fraud and financial crime detection to the payment chain rather than to merchants. Its buyers are payment service providers, merchant acquirers, card issuers, processors, card schemes, payment facilitators and large merchants operating their own gateway. Five products run on one platform: card payment fraud detection, merchant initiated fraud detection for acquirers monitoring their own merchant portfolios, anti money laundering, authorized push payment fraud detection and money mule detection.

Fraudio pools the transaction datasets of its customers into a single centralized model it calls a brain, trained on billions of transactions, requiring no per customer configuration and learning from every transaction that passes through any customer, and it describes this as a third generation approach after rules based systems and machine learning trained on a single customer's data. Responses are stated at under 100 milliseconds, and data can be sent in real time or as a daily batch through its API. It names Viva Wallet as a customer with stated results, and lists Silverflow, Pismo, Bancontact, Fazz, Cashflows, PayTabs and Paynovate as firms it serves.

Commercially it sells pay per use, priced by monthly transaction volume and quoted on request, with a free trial and a free Proof of Results evaluation on a prospect's own historical transactions. The software runs as a service on AWS, the company states ISO 27001 certification, and its terms of service for the detection service were last updated in November 2025.

Capability Axes

Capability grades

15 of 15 axes rated · 6 graded A or B

AI Capability
AI Centrality
AA on AI CentralityThe artificial intelligence is the product. Remove the models and there is nothing left to sell.
Vendor Published

Scores come from a single centralized model, with no rules to author and no per customer configuration, returned in under 100 milliseconds, and the claimed edge over rules and single customer models is itself a modeling claim. Take the model away and no rules engine, case product or separate data asset is left.

Autonomy and Oversight Model
CC on Autonomy and Oversight ModelAutonomy is claimed and oversight is asserted without a mechanism, or full automation is presented as the entire disclosure. Human in the loop appears as a phrase rather than a described control.
Vendor Published

Plug and protect is the pitch: no rules, configuration or tuning, with a real time or daily batch score sent to the customer's own system, where the decision is made. Its founders reject black box solutions, yet no reason code, threshold or override is described.

Model Risk Management and Transparency
BB on Model Risk Management and TransparencyReal transparency mechanisms are published, such as per alert explainability, confidence scoring or split testing, without the validation package or supervisory mapping behind them.
Vendor Published

A prospect can send historical transactions, have them scored by the centralized model and receive the detection results free and without obligation, so the model is tested on the buyer's own population before deployment. Precision, recall and false positive rates are unpublished, and no one customer can version the shared model.

Operational and Outcome Evidence
AA on Operational and Outcome EvidenceNamed customers with hard performance figures and enough method to test them.
Vendor Published

Viva Wallet grew transactions sevenfold, raised its risk team's efficiency by 600 percent and earned an eightfold return, by Fraudio's account, with no method or period published. Comparisons claiming up to 30 times better results than single dataset models name none of the comparators.

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

One payment service provider's transactions train the model that scores a competitor's traffic, because Fraudio connects customers' datasets into one centralized model by design. The terms limit retained query records to monitoring, quality improvement and billing, a list that sets no boundary on training the shared model or on what a departing customer's data keeps doing.

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

The privacy policy, last updated September 15, 2020, names Fraudio B.V. as controller and Google Analytics as a processor but never reaches the transaction and cardholder data the service handles. Retention periods and a supervisory authority are absent, and the November 2025 terms require only return or destruction of confidential information on completion or request.

Security Certifications and Trust Center
BB on Security Certifications and Trust CenterA recognized certification named in the vendor’s own material without the artifact, or with a scope or renewal question the buyer has to raise.
Vendor Published

ISO/IEC 27001 certification was announced in January 2024, and the mark sits on the homepage. Certification body and scope go unstated, and no payment card attestation is named although the platform ingests card transactions.

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

License, supervisory relationship and scheme recognition all go unstated, usual for a technology supplier. Anti money laundering and money mule products are sold without citing the directives they serve, though customers face card scheme fraud thresholds the market material describes.

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

Every customer shares one model, so a pattern learned in one geography or merchant category applies across the network at once rather than staying with the institution whose data produced it. Behind it sit no error rate, calibration statement or fairness testing.

AI Liability and Recourse
CC on AI Liability and RecourseMechanisms that enable challenge, such as audit trails and source traceability, with nothing standing behind the output and no route for the person affected.
Vendor Published

Terms updated November 2025 cap liability at 12 months of fees, warrant nothing about score accuracy beyond workmanlike delivery and require the client to indemnify Fraudio. A cardholder scored as fraudulent by a model trained on other institutions' data gets no notice, explanation or correction route.

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

Across five products, anti money laundering among them, Fraudio names no data supplier, enrichment provider or watchlist source. Without a subprocessor list, whether any external model sits behind the scores is unknown.

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

Real time or daily batch data goes in through a single API, which suits an authorization path. Silverflow and Pismo appear as customers, yet no connector, gateway or case management integration is named and no developer documentation is published.

Deployment Model and Data Residency
CC on Deployment Model and Data ResidencyCloud only with nothing stated, which is the category norm.
Vendor Published

Delivery runs on AWS, shown on the homepage, with no region, residency commitment or on premises option stated. Because the model is centralized, the data must reach one place, and an acquirer whose supervisor expects cardholder data to stay in a jurisdiction would need an answer before signing.

Commercial
Commercial Transparency
BB on Commercial TransparencyA published plan ladder, billing dimensions, or a stated commitment such as no fees, so a buyer can size the cost before making contact.
Vendor Published

Pay per use on monthly subscriptions with no commitment is the only model, and the pricing page returns a price once a company enters its monthly transaction count. Buyers get a free trial, though no rate or volume tier appears.

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

Payment service providers, acquirers and issuers are addressed, with firms named across that chain such as Bancontact, PayTabs and Cashflows. Merchant initiated fraud detection serves acquirers watching their own portfolios, though segment material is uneven across the list.

Pricing

Vendor-published figures are labeled as such. Figures labeled “Estimated” are derived from third-party sources and have not been confirmed by the vendor.

Entry Price Pricing Basis Data Protection Terms Implementation Source
No rate published. Sold pay per use, priced by monthly transaction volume on request, with a free trial and a free Proof of Results evaluation.
Pay per use, priced by monthly transaction volume and quoted on request, on monthly subscriptions with no commitment. No rate, tier or volume band is published, and nothing indicates whether card payment fraud, merchant initiated fraud, anti money laundering, authorized push payment fraud and money mule detection are metered together or separately. Because one centralized model serves every customer with no per customer configuration or training, the cost of serving an additional customer is low, which supports usage based pricing and a free evaluation. Not tiered on any published pricing. Fraudio's privacy policy, last updated 15 September 2020, covers the website and service users and names only Google Analytics, and its terms of service for the detection service, updated November 2025, cap liability at 12 months of fees and require return or destruction of confidential information. Fraudio states ISO/IEC 27001 certification. No implementation fee is published. Fraudio markets a plug and protect model with no configuration, no rule authoring and no per customer training, integrated through a single API accepting real time or daily batch data, and Proof of Results is free of charge and obligation free. Vendor Published

Fraudio publishes its commercial model but not its rate as of 2 October 2026. Its pricing page asks for a company's monthly transaction count and returns the price that applies, and the company states pay per use as its only model, on monthly subscriptions with no commitment. A free trial and a free Proof of Results evaluation on the prospect's own historical transactions let a buyer test before paying. Because pricing follows each customer's volume, no list price or tier structure exists to benchmark a quote against.
