London-based FinTech FALKIN, which helps banks prevent scams before payments occur, has raised $2m in pre-seed funding to strengthen its AI-powered digital safety tools.
The round was led by TriplePoint Ventures, with participation from Notion Capital, BackFuture Ventures, Aviva/Founders Factory, Haatch, Found Capital, and Founders Capital. Individual investors include Pierre Decote, group chief risk officer at Revolut, and Ben Enckevort, CTO and co-founder of Metomic.
FALKIN uses AI to detect manipulation and deception across messages, payment requests, and online listings. Its safety layer is embedded directly into digital banking platforms, ensuring customers are protected within the apps they already trust.
The new funds will go towards hiring, product development, and new integrations with financial institutions. FALKIN will also launch Safety Labs, a programme to help community banks and credit unions deploy scam-prevention tools easily.
TriplePoint Ventures partner Sam Stone said, “AI has blurred the line between what’s real and what’s fake, and traditional systems aren’t built for that reality. FALKIN’s vision to make proactive safety universal has the potential to redefine digital trust. We’re proud to back the team as they work to embed digital safety at the heart of modern finance.”
FALKIN co-founder and COO Joel Frisch added, “Modern scams are sophisticated, and no single red flag tells the whole story. The key is to analyze all the signals that reveal deception to build a complete picture. When we embed that intelligence where trust already lives – inside the banking apps people use every day – protection becomes effortless.”
