What it is

One AI risk engine across onboarding, fraud and monitoring

Most institutions split risk across a KYC vendor, a fraud tool and an overnight monitoring system; this runs all three on one engine and one customer profile.

Models handle documents, liveness, device signals and anomalies, with a deterministic rules layer your risk team controls directly.

  • One customer profile
  • Rules + machine learning
  • Inline, not overnight
  • Every decision explained

Capabilities

From the first document to the thousandth transaction

Five modules sharing one profile, one score history and one audit trail.

Case management & rule studio

Alerts land prioritised with the profile, score breakdown and linked entities attached. Your team writes and backtests rules against historical data before shipping them.

See it on your data

Bring a historical window of transactions with the known fraud labelled. We will replay it and show what the engine catches, misses and flags.

Inside the platform

Where your risk team and your product each plug in

One engine, three surfaces: the queue, the studio and the API.

Analyst workspace

The alert queue your team works

Alerts arrive prioritised with the customer profile, score breakdown and linked entities already attached.

  • Prioritised alert queue
  • Score breakdown
  • Linked entity graph
  • Audit-ready case notes
Rule studio

Write and backtest rules before shipping

Your risk team authors deterministic rules and replays them against historical data before anything goes live.

  • Rule authoring
  • Historical backtest
  • Versioned rule sets
  • Staged rollout
Decision API

Verification and scoring inside your product

Call the engine at onboarding, login, payment or payout and get approve, challenge or decline with reasons.

  • Inline scoring endpoint
  • KYC verification flow
  • Contributing factors returned
  • Webhook decisions

Why teams switch

Risk decisions you can defend later

What changes when KYC, fraud and monitoring run on one engine.

Shadow-run first

Detection rate and alert volume are measured on your own labelled history before anything is enforced.

Runs in your perimeter

Deploy the engine and its models in your own cloud or on-premises so PII stays put.

Governed, tested models

Models are versioned, drift-monitored and bias-tested, with a human review path on adverse decisions.

Screening stays current

Sanctions, PEP and adverse-media checks rescreen continuously as lists change, not only at onboarding.

How it's different

Three vendors and a nightly batch, or one engine in the request path

Every row is a place a stitched risk stack leaks fraud or analyst hours.

Point vendors + batch review

Separate KYC, fraud and monitoring tools, reconciled by analysts.

  • Each tool holds its own partial view of a customer
  • Suspicious payments reviewed the next morning, after settlement
  • Rule changes filed as a vendor ticket, shipped next quarter
  • Flat thresholds generate alert volume nobody can work
  • A model score with no explanation an auditor accepts

Zethic AI Fraud, KYC & Risk Suite

One AI engine and one customer profile across the whole lifecycle.

  • One profile and score history across the lifecycle
  • Scored inline in milliseconds, before it clears
  • Your analysts backtest and ship rules the same day
  • Per-customer baselines and tuned matching cut the noise
  • Every decision carries its factors, rules and model version

Use cases

Where a risk decision has to be right and immediate

Institutions where a wrong decision costs money one way and customers the other.

01 Digital onboarding

A bank opening accounts in-app

Genuine applicants clear in under a minute, while synthetic identities and reused document images are caught at capture rather than at the first chargeback.

Clean applicants clear in under a minute

02 Payments

A PSP scoring authorisations inline

Every authorisation is scored in the request path, so step-up challenges land only on the fraction of payments that warrant them.

Step-up only where risk actually is

03 Lending

A lender screening for first-party fraud

Graph analysis links applications sharing devices, addresses or beneficiaries, exposing organised rings behind individually plausible files.

Application rings surfaced before disbursement

04 AML operations

A compliance team drowning in alerts

Per-customer baselines and tuned fuzzy matching cut alert volume, and each remaining alert arrives with its context already assembled.

Analysts start with context, not tabs

Integrations

It sits in the request path of the systems you already run

API-first and vendor-agnostic: it calls the data sources you already subscribe to.

Security & compliance

Built to pass a model-risk and security review

How the suite handles data, models and evidence.

Encryption and biometric handling

AES-256 at rest with per-tenant key separation and TLS 1.3 in transit. Documents, selfies and biometric templates are retained only for the period you configure.

Explainable, auditable decisions

Every score is logged with its inputs, contributing factors, fired rules and model version, so any decision can be reconstructed years later.

Model governance built in

Models are versioned, their training and validation datasets recorded, and live performance monitored for drift. Promotion to production is an approved, logged change.

Bias testing and human override

Outcomes are tested across demographic segments for disparate impact, and no adverse decision is final without a human review path.

  • AES-256 / TLS 1.3
  • ISO 27001 controls
  • GDPR-aligned data handling
  • Biometric data retention controls
  • Model governance & drift monitoring
  • SOC 2 Type II In progress

Why choose us

Why teams trust Zethic with the risk decision

A risk engine is judged on what it catches and whether the decision holds up afterwards.

Book a demo

Built by a regulated-systems team

The suite carries the model governance, change-control and audit discipline that banks, lenders and payment companies require.

Proven on your own history first

Evaluation starts with a replay of your labelled historical data, so detection rate and analyst workload are measured on your book.

AI you can explain to a regulator

Explainability is architectural, not a report generated afterwards. Factors, rules and model versions travel with every decision.

Your team controls the policy

The rule studio puts thresholds, typologies and overrides in your analysts’ hands, with backtesting before release.

Client reviews. Real outcomes.

Frequently asked

Answers to your questions

Still unsure? Send us the question you actually need answered and a senior engineer will reply.

Book a demo
How fast is a decision, and where does it sit in our flow?

Transaction scoring runs inline in the request path and returns a decision in single-digit to low double-digit milliseconds, within a latency budget you configure. Identity verification resolves a clean applicant in under a minute, including document authentication, liveness and screening.

Is customer and biometric data secure?

Data is encrypted with AES-256 at rest using per-tenant key separation and TLS 1.3 in transit, with keys in a managed KMS or HSM under documented rotation. Documents, selfies and biometric templates are retained only for the period you configure, and access is role-scoped, MFA-protected and logged.

Can it integrate with our core banking, origination and payment systems?

Yes. A single scoring endpoint drops into your onboarding, login and authorisation flows, and webhooks push alerts, case updates and screening hits into your case management, CRM or reporting systems. Your existing list providers, bureaus and registry lookups connect as data sources rather than being replaced.

Where is data hosted, and can the models run inside our network?

The engine and its models deploy into your own cloud account or on-premises, so customer PII and biometric data never leave your perimeter to be scored. Alternatively we operate a regional tenancy in the jurisdiction your regulator expects, with isolated per-country tenancies for multi-market institutions.

Can we explain an AI-driven decline to a regulator or a customer?

Every score is stored in an immutable log with its inputs, the factors that raised it, the rules that fired and the model version that produced it. Models are versioned and monitored for drift, outcomes are tested for disparate impact, and any human override is captured with its reason.
