Our take
In this digital age, one of the biggest challenges is mitigating financial crime online. As more people use digital banking and commerce, there has been a significant increase in consumers being subjected to online banking fraud attacks and scams.
Feedzai makes banking and commerce safe with its financial risk management platform. Their AI platform monitors companies with more than 900 million customers in nearly 200 countries. Many of the world’s largest financial institutions such as Citibank, Fiserv, and Santander, as well as well known fintechs such as SoFi already use Feedzai’s technology.
As the use of digital banking and payments continues to grow during this boom period, so will the increase in financial crime. The company will always face a challenge to improve its technology as fraudsters find new methods to execute financial crimes. In early 2021 they raised a $200 million Series D investment round led by global investment titans KKR. With a +$1.5B valuation, the company remains focused on global expansion, further developing its product offerings, and boosting its partner strategy with a focus on the APAC region.
