Fraud Guard · a Signals feature

Stop fraud before it becomes a customer problem.

Signals evaluates every outbound message before it’s sent — blocklists, behavioural analysis, content intelligence and machine learning. Every request is scored and allowed, reviewed or blocked within milliseconds.

The problem

Most fraud is detected after the damage is done

Traditional systems focus on onboarding and completed transactions. Fraud Guard works earlier — at the signal layer, before a message is delivered.

Verification abuse

Fraudsters exploit OTPs with SMS pumping, OTP flooding and code interception — signals traditional systems rarely inspect before they’re sent.

False positives

Generic fraud rules block legitimate customers because they lack the context behind each signal — creating friction and failed journeys.

Transaction signal blind spots

Two messages can look identical but carry very different risk. Fraud Guard weighs sender behaviour, content, velocity and account context.

Detection that comes too late

Once an OTP is delivered or a verification completes, the chance to prevent many attacks has already passed.

Prevent, don’t investigate

Decide before delivery — not after

Traditional — review after the fact

  • Message → delivered → fraud detected
  • Fraud found after the OTP lands
  • The attack has already reached the customer
  • The prevention window is already closed

Fraud Guard — decide before delivery

  • Message → risk evaluated → allow / review / block
  • Scored in real time before sending
  • Blocklists, behaviour, content & ML
  • Stopped before it reaches the customer

What you get

Every fraud signal, evaluated before delivery

Hundreds of signals across devices, behaviour, velocity, content and location — analysed in real time before a message is sent.

Velocity & OTP abuse detection

Abnormal OTP frequency, rapid attempts, code flooding and unusual velocity — caught before a message is delivered.

Device & session fingerprinting

Trusted devices recognised instantly; new or anonymised signatures trigger elevated scrutiny before the signal is allowed.

Geo & identity anomaly detection

Impossible travel, location spoofing and identity inconsistencies — contextualised to each customer’s normal behaviour.

Behavioural baseline per customer

A real-time baseline for every customer; deviations in timing, channel, frequency or amount are flagged before sending.
