Feedzai’s RiskOps was awarded Best Use of AI for Fraud and Financial Crime Prevention by a technology vendor at the 7th Regulation Asia Awards for Excellence 2024.

The Best Use of AI for Fraud and Financial Crime Prevention award recognises innovative solutions that use artificial intelligence to enhance detection of fraud and financial crime threats while elevating industry standards for regulatory compliance. This category celebrates technology vendors that enable financial institutions to efficiently and effectively tackle financial crime risks through the use of AI-driven monitoring, alerting and risk assessment capabilities.

The judging panel recognised Feedzai’s RiskOps platform in this highly competitive category for its outstanding capabilities to detect fraud risks in real-time. The platform leverages advanced machine learning to continuously improve detection accuracy, reduce false positives, and optimise operational efficiency across digital banking, payments, and ATMs.

“Fraud, scams, and money mules are increasingly interconnected threats that require a holistic approach, a point solution covering one signal just isn’t enough,” said Pedro Barata, Chief Product Officer at Feedzai. “By enabling banks to monitor both inbound and outbound payments, we help detect authorised and unauthorised fraud and money mules which disrupt money laundering activities. As an AI-first company, we are deeply committed to keeping commerce and banking safe, and this recognition underscores our dedication to enhancing financial security for our customers.”

The judging panel acknowledged the solution’s support for diverse regulatory needs, customisable interface and user-friendly design, which help to enhances the efficiency of fraud analysts. “Feedzai delivers comprehensive fraud protection for clients worldwide, setting itself apart as a leader in AI-driven fraud prevention,” said one judge on the Regulation Asia awards panel.  “The real-time risk assessment capabilities establish a new benchmark in fraud prevention.”

“This award highlights the pivotal role of AI in redefining fraud prevention and compliance in today’s financial landscape,” said Bradley Maclean, Co-founder of Regulation Asia and Chair of the Awards Committee. “Feedzai’s innovative solution empowers institutions to proactively address emerging threats, supporting a more secure and resilient future for the industry.”
