Monitor changing risk across the entities your business depends on

Merchants, customers, agents, corridors, sub-merchants and counterparties all shift as their behaviour changes. Risk Rating tracks those signals and turns them into live risk lists your teams can use in rules, investigations, limits, step-up flows and reviews.

Trusted by leaders in finance and technology

Track the entities that matter before they become a problem

Monitor any entity

Create a risk view around the population your team needs to watch, from merchants and customers to agents, branches, corridors, players, sub-merchants and counterparties.

Keep risk current

Use behavioural, transactional, onboarding, customer and external signals to keep each entity’s risk weight up to date, so teams are not relying on static periodic reviews.

Send the list where work happens

Use live lists in rules, case management, authorisation flows, limits, dashboards or review queues, so teams can act while there is still time.

Live entity scoring for fraud, AML and vulnerability risk

Risk rarely stays inside one fixed domain. What matters is the entity in question, the signals that change its risk, and where that intelligence gets used. Risk Rating works from that mechanic, so teams can define the entity, connect the signals that matter and produce a live list the business can act on.

ENTITY SCORING

Score the entities your team actually needs to watch

Each risk view starts with a practical question: which entities need attention, and why? That might mean merchants showing early signs of bust-out risk, customers more exposed to scam attempts, corridors with changing sanctions exposure, or agents whose behaviour has started to drift.

Score merchants, customers, sub-merchants, agents, branches, corridors, players or counterparties

Bring transaction, behavioural, customer, onboarding and external signals into one view

Update risk weights as new activity and outcomes
come in

Configure risk views for fraud, AML, scams, vulnerability or portfolio monitoring

LIVE RISK LISTS

Give downstream systems a list they can use

Each risk view produces a simple output: an entity, a weight and a reason. That list can feed the systems that already make or support decisions, without forcing teams to rebuild how they work.

Create maintained lists of high-risk, changing or vulnerable entities

Use risk view outputs in rules, alerts, limits, step-up flows and review queues

Apply risk weights without relying only on hard cut-offs

Replace static periodic reviews with live lists that update as merchant, customer or counterparty behaviour changes

Keep list logic current as behaviour, typologies and risk appetite change

CONFIGURABLE LENSES

Create new risk views without starting from scratch

The same underlying mechanism can support very different problems. An issuer might need a merchant risk view. A bank might need a customer vulnerability view. A remittance firm might need an agent or corridor view. Each risk view changes the entity, signals and action path, while keeping the operating model consistent.

Build merchant risk views for issuers, acquirers and processors

Build customer vulnerability views for scam and harm prevention

Identify vulnerable customers so risky payments can be slowed, challenged or reviewed before funds leave

Build sub-merchant risk views for PayFacs, platforms and sponsor-bank exposure

Build agent, branch or corridor risk views for remittance and cross-border risk

Governed Agents

Investigate changing risk without adding manual review burden

Governed agents can help explain why an entity’s risk has changed, surface linked activity, prepare evidence and suggest next steps. Your team stays in control of thresholds, approvals and deployment.

  • Summarise the signals behind a changing entity score

  • Surface linked merchants, customers, agents, counterparties or transactions

  • Suggest review, rule, limit or monitoring actions based on the Lens output

  • Route high-priority entities to analysts with the relevant context already assembled
