Moneypool, a social payments platform helping people pool money with friends for events, gifts and shared plans, has partnered with Flagright.
The collaboration aims to strengthen Moneypool’s ability to detect and mitigate financial crime risks as the company scales its services globally.
The partnership will see Moneypool deploy Flagright’s suite of tools, including real-time transaction monitoring, dynamic risk scoring and case management capabilities. These will safeguard Moneypool’s operations across group collections, card top-ups and instant withdrawals while maintaining smooth user experiences and compliance efficiency.
Moneypool, a Y Combinator-backed FinTech, provides a simple way for users to collect and manage money with friends, enabling them to get paid through a link, accept card payments, and withdraw funds instantly at any time. Flagright, also a YC alumnus, offers a no-code, API-first platform that helps FinTechs and payment companies detect and prevent financial crime using AI-powered risk models and configurable compliance frameworks.
By implementing Flagright’s technology, Moneypool’s risk and compliance teams can identify suspicious behaviour in real time, configure typologies in minutes, and streamline investigations through a unified case management system. The solution will also allow the firm to reduce false positives and enhance protection against card testing, mule activity and scam patterns.
Moneypool CTO and co-founder Gerardo Acuña said, “We process a high volume of pooled payments and instant withdrawals every day, so we needed a platform that could keep up without slowing our product velocity. Flagright stood out on three fronts: speed to value (we can go live in weeks), no-code configurability for rules and risk models across cards and bank transfers, and end-to-end case management that gives our team clean auditability. As fellow YC founders, we value tools that ship fast and scale with us, Flagright does both.”
Flagright co-founder and CTO Madhu G. Nadig said, “Moneypool is bringing simple, social payments to millions, and we’re proud to support that mission as YC peers. Our API-first, AI-native platform gives them real-time monitoring, adaptive risk scoring, and streamlined investigations, so they can keep experiences instant for users while scaling safely across markets.”
