Fraud Detection

Catch fraud before the money moves.
Behavioral analysis & velocity checks.

Remitgo scores every transaction in real time, profiling sender and beneficiary behavior, watching velocity across corridors and flagging anomalies before a transfer settles.

Behavioral profiling

Every customer builds a baseline from their own transfer history. Remitgo compares each new transaction against that profile and surfaces deviations that rules alone would miss.

  • Per-customer behavioral baseline
  • Beneficiary relationship graph
  • First-time corridor detection

Velocity checks

Configurable limits on count, amount and frequency over rolling windows, caught the moment a structuring or smurfing pattern starts to form.

  • Rolling-window count & value caps
  • Multi-account velocity aggregation
  • Corridor-aware thresholds

Device & network signals

Device fingerprint, IP reputation and geolocation mismatch feed the score, so an account takeover looks different from the genuine customer.

  • Device fingerprinting
  • Impossible-travel detection
  • Shared-device clustering

Risk score per transaction

Each transfer returns a calibrated 0–100 fraud score with the contributing reason codes, ready to drive an approve, review or block decision.

  • 0–100 calibrated score
  • Explainable reason codes
  • Approve / review / block recommendation

AML & sanctions tie-in

Fraud scoring runs alongside Remitgo's AML rules and on8's SmartSanction screening engine, so a single decision reflects fraud, money-laundering and watchlist risk together.

  • Linked to AML rule engine
  • SmartSanction screening signal
  • Unified risk decision

Real-time alerting

High-risk transactions raise a signed webhook and a case in the review queue immediately, so analysts act before settlement, not after.

  • HMAC-signed alert webhook
  • Auto case creation
  • Configurable alert thresholds
