Industry Overview

Share

Payments & FinTech runs on decisions taken in milliseconds, on margins measured in basis points, against fraud and financial crime patterns that change weekly. Across various engagements in multiple geographies, iFortis Worldwide has engineered intelligence into Payment Fraud Intelligence, Payment Authorisation Optimization, Credit Decision Intelligence, Merchant Onboarding Automation, Dispute Resolution Automation, Transaction Crime Intelligence, Settlement Reconciliation Automation, Payments Support Copilot, Consumer Collections Optimization and Risk Operations Workforce, always above deterministic authorisation and settlement rails that clear with or without a model.

Key impacts

  • Payment Fraud Intelligence. Fraud rules were tuned after losses appeared, and legitimate customers were declined alongside attackers.
  • Payment Authorisation Optimization. Routing and retry logic was static, and issuer declines were accepted without further analysis.
  • Credit Decision Intelligence. Consumer credit decisions relied on bureau data alone, with thin file applicants declined by default.
  • Merchant Onboarding Automation. Merchant onboarding took days of manual document checks before the first transaction could be processed.
