Sift

Digital commerce fraud platform

Sift focuses on digital fraud decisions. Payment Protection assesses purchases and related abuse; Account Defense addresses account takeover; dispute tools support chargeback operations. It is a fraud layer that can complement an AML and identity stack, rather than a substitute for those controls.

Our assessment

Focused digital fraud specialist. Pair with identity, screening, and AML tools as needed.

Best fit and limitations

A relevant candidate for digital merchants and platforms with card fraud, account takeover, abuse, and dispute workflows. Compare fraud capture and conversion at the same loss target.

  • Not established as a sanctions, KYC/KYB, AML monitoring, or regulatory filing suite.
  • Dispute tools do not transfer fraud liability unless a specific contract says so.
  • Strong consumer fraud detection does not establish business underwriting or merchant reserve management.

AI capabilities

Ensemble fraud models + review summaries

What to validate

Evaluate chargeback-lag effects, score reasons, policy simulation, and account-recovery outcomes. A low score is not a compliance clearance.

Questions for the demo
  1. What is the approval-rate lift at a fixed fraud-loss target?
  2. How do delayed chargebacks affect model feedback and our backtest?
  3. Which account and payment actions are automatic versus API recommendations?
