Fraud Detection & Transaction Risk
I

Incandor

Incandor builds behavioral intelligence infrastructure for banks, fintechs, neobanks and digital banks, on the argument that institutions verify identity at account creation but have no continuous signal for who is actually operating an account afterwards, while identity itself has become a commodity attackers buy in bulk. It constructs a behavioral map of every user from physical interaction signals including mouse dynamics, keystroke timing, scroll patterns and how a phone is held, requiring no fraud labels or historical data, so detection works from the first session.

Each individual forms a unique cluster regardless of which account they use, which surfaces account takeovers, mule handoffs, shared operators and coordinated rings, and supports bot detection and identification of sessions under stress or coercion. Rather than returning a risk score, it exposes the map as a programmable interface so a fraud team combines behavioral signals with its own transaction and customer data. It collects only behavioral signals, not what users type, read or view.

Capability Axes

Capability grades

15 of 15 axes rated · 5 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

Unsupervised behavioral clustering is the product: mouse dynamics, keystroke timing and device orientation place each session on a map where one person forms one cluster whatever account is used. Needing no fraud labels or history, it works from the first session, unlike supervised fraud scoring.

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

The behavioral map is exposed as a programmable interface rather than a risk score, so the bank's fraud team writes the investigation logic and keeps judgment by construction. Automatic blocking of banned operators at onboarding runs the other way, with no described review of that exclusion.

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

Because output is a navigable map, an investigator can see why sessions cluster and follow an operator across accounts instead of accepting a number. The above 99 percent account takeover accuracy claim has no methodology, sample or false positive rate, the figure that matters when results can block accounts.

Operational and Outcome Evidence
CC on Operational and Outcome EvidenceUnnamed case studies, customer logos, or claims without numbers. Prestige is not measurement: the caliber of the client list describes the buyer rather than the product, and coverage statistics are not adoption statistics.
Vendor Published

The company is onboarding early customers, names none, and is a 2026 accelerator cohort member at pre seed stage. An independent assessment notes the founders are described only by university affiliation, with no verifiable work history.

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

Blocking a banned operator on return implies identities that persist beyond any account or credential. Whether behavioral clusters stay inside one customer or an operator identified at one bank is recognizable at another is never stated, and that decides how powerful and how dangerous the system is.

Regulatory and Compliance
GLBA and Data Privacy Posture
BB on GLBA and Data Privacy PostureA substantive privacy document that reaches the product itself, short of the subprocessor list or the full data handling detail.
Vendor Published

Collection is limited explicitly to behavioral signals, not what users type, read or view, with a stated rationale that behavior alone suffices to reconcile operators. No data protection agreement, retention schedule or subprocessor register covers the continuous session telemetry that remains.

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

An early company with no attestation, certification or trust center is normal, and it remains the barrier to a first bank deployment. The vendor asks for continuous session telemetry from every customer of a regulated institution.

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

Customer due diligence rules behind the identity pipelines it supplements are not engaged, and no regulator, statute or supervisory expectation is named. Continuous behavioral monitoring of bank customers raises consent and biometric data questions in several jurisdictions that nothing addresses.

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

Motor control, disability and device quality all shape mouse and typing signals, so a user with a tremor or a screen reader may cluster as anomalous for reasons unrelated to fraud. Inferring stress or coercion from physical behavior compounds that, and no differential performance testing is published.

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

Because the identifier is behavioral, a block at onboarding follows a person across accounts, devices and credentials. Someone wrongly clustered has no document to correct, no score to dispute and no described way to learn why they cannot open an account.

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

The signal comes from the company's own telemetry rather than licensed data, removing an external data dependency. The clustering approach is described only conceptually, with no model, provider or hosting named, so an institution cannot document what produces the identities it acts on.

Core Systems and Integration Depth
BB on Core Systems and Integration DepthNamed systems or a documented public API, with the depth or the production evidence left open.
Vendor Published

A software development kit sends behavioral telemetry, after which the query interface goes live inside the institution's existing workflows beside its other signals. No fraud platform, case management or core system is named as a connection.

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

Every customer session's telemetry goes to the vendor for mapping, yet no hosting provider, region or self hosted option is published. Behavioral biometric data attracts specific handling rules in several places, which makes processing location a live question.

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

Delivery by software development kit and interface usually implies usage pricing, yet no price or basis of charge is published. Whether charges follow sessions, users or platform volume is unknown.

Institution and Segment Coverage
CC on Institution and Segment CoverageSegments claimed broadly, banks, fintechs, credit unions, without evidence any of them has its own maintained surface.
Vendor Published

Commercial and consumer banks, fintechs and digital banks are named as targets, but the company is still soliciting introductions to them. No institution type, size or geography is evidenced as served.
