Sardine

Sardine is a fraud prevention and compliance platform that helps fintech companies, banks, and marketplaces detect fraudulent users and transactions in real time by analyzing device, behavioral, and network signals that are much harder for a fraudster to fake than the identity documents and personal information traditional fraud checks rely on. Its device intelligence looks at signals like whether a device has been associated with previous fraudulent accounts, whether emulators or automation tools are being used, and other technical fingerprinting signals, while its behavioral analytics examine patterns like typing cadence and mouse movement that can distinguish a genuine human user from an automated bot or a fraudster using stolen credentials. Sardine combines these real-time signals with identity verification and transaction monitoring in a single platform, letting risk teams make a real-time decision on whether to approve, flag, or decline a transaction or new account signup, rather than relying purely on static rules or after-the-fact manual review that catches fraud only after money has already moved. Its orchestration layer lets companies combine multiple risk signals into custom rules and workflows tailored to their specific risk tolerance and customer base, rather than a one-size-fits-all fraud score. Sardine is aimed at fintech companies, digital banks, and payment platforms that face sophisticated fraud attempts and need real-time risk decisions that go beyond basic identity document verification alone.
