Detect payment risk before it becomes fraud

Spot early risk signals across cards, bank transfers, wallets and instant payments before they become losses. Fortify helps you adapt controls, build new rules or models in minutes, and keep trusted customers moving.

Trusted by leaders in finance and technology

Find the weak signals before they become fraud losses

Detect risk early

Surface subtle shifts in behaviour, device activity, account changes and counterparty patterns before they turn into confirmed fraud or repeated losses.

Build the fix in minutes

When early signals point to a new attack pattern, build, test and deploy rules or model updates by payment type, customer context and risk pattern in minutes.

Learn from every outcome

Connect decisions, reviews, disputes and losses back into your fraud controls so rules and models improve as attack patterns change.

intelligent workflows

One operating layer for payment fraud decisions, investigations and rapid control change

Payment fraud starts as weak signals across rails, channels and customer journeys. Fortify brings those signals, decisions and feedback loops together so your team can act early, measure impact and keep trusted activity moving.

PRE-PAYMENT DECISIONING

Act on risk before funds
 are exposed

Evaluate payment risk while there is still time to act. Customer context, transaction behaviour, device signals and payment history come together in one decision, so you can approve, step up, hold or review with precision.

Assess risk before authorisation, settlement or payout

Use customer, device, behavioural and counterparty signals in one decision

Apply different actions by rail, segment, payment type or risk pattern

Keep the reason behind every decision visible and reviewable

CROSS-RAIL FRAUD CONTROL

Protect every payment journey without one-size-fits-all rules

Payment fraud looks different across cards, ACH, instant payments, bank transfers and wallets. Manage those differences in one place, with control logic that stays consistent, testable and explainable.

Tune controls for cards, bank transfers, wallets and instant payments

Detect risky funding changes, account updates and payment method switching

Spot card testing, unauthorised debits, mule movement and rapid cashout patterns

Adapt thresholds and review paths by customer context and payment rail

EMERGING PATTERN DETECTION

Find emerging attacks before they become losses

Individual transaction scores only tell you so much. Identify shared devices, linked accounts, repeated counterparties, velocity changes and behavioural clusters that point to organised abuse.

Detect fraud rings across customers, devices, accounts and counterparties

Identify unusual velocity, burst activity and repeated dispute patterns

Surface emerging attacks by product, payment rail, cohort or merchant segment

Build, test and deploy new rules or models from confirmed patterns in minutes

OUTCOME-LED OPTIMISATION

Improve controls using real payment outcomes

Fraud decisions should get smarter as outcomes come in. Approvals, declines, reviews, disputes, chargebacks, returns and confirmed fraud all connect back to the controls that made the decision.

Measure the performance of rules and models against real outcomes

See where controls are creating unnecessary friction or missed risk

Backtest changes before releasing them into live payment flows

Maintain a clear audit trail from signal to decision to outcome

Governed Agents

Respond to payment fraud spikes without adding operational drag

Governed agents help investigate anomalies, surface linked activity, recommend control changes and prepare evidence – while your team stays in control of thresholds, approvals and deployment.

  • Investigate shared identifiers across users, payments, devices and accounts

  • Recommend new rules or tuning actions based on emerging payment patterns

  • Summarise why a decision was made and what evidence supports it

  • Route complex cases to analysts with the relevant context already assembled
