Sardine was founded by an impressive combination of ex-Revolut, Coinbase, Paypal and Uber stars. These credentials have enabled the company to amass considerable funding since its launch. Sardine's technology traces intrinsic behaviour patterns to identify so-called "bad actors" online, and detects fraudsters using machine-learned fraud scores and user behavior biometrics.

Sardine calls itself the world's first FaaS (Fraud Detection as a Service), and its solutions are already drawing business from next-gen crypto and financial service institutions such as Fortress and Incode. Onboarding these institutions and scaling its customer base at pace will ensure that Sardine maintains its frontrunner position.
