AI fraud detection software: what they are and who makes them
merchant fraud platforms, payment-processor fraud tools, fintech and bank risk platforms, signal and rules toolkits: SEON, Ravelin, Sardine through DataVisor.
Types of AI fraud detection software
Merchant fraud platforms
These tools score checkout orders and sign-ups for online sellers. Ravelin, Forter, Sift and Signifyd belong here, and they differ in whether the vendor carries chargeback liability, charges per decision, or leaves the rules to the merchant. Most also cover refund abuse and account takeover.
Payment-processor fraud tools
Stripe Radar is built into a payment processor, so scoring uses the processor's own transaction data. Setup is short and prices are public. The reach is mostly payments, so account fraud and AML work needs other tools. It suits teams that value speed of setup.
Fintech and bank risk platforms
Sardine, Unit21, Feedzai and Alloy serve regulated firms. They combine transaction monitoring, onboarding checks and AML case work, and they are sold through demos and contracts instead of self-serve plans. Expect an implementation project with data mapping, not a plug-in.
Signal and rules toolkits
SEON sits between these groups: a signal-based toolkit with device and digital-footprint data, a rules engine, and AML screening that a small risk team can start with at a listed price. It also covers customer screening and transaction monitoring in the same workflow.
