Finastra has partnered with FraudAverse, a financial crime prevention specialist focused on AI-driven fraud detection and risk mitigation.
The collaboration aims to strengthen fraud protection for financial institutions by embedding advanced AI capabilities directly into Finastra’s payments infrastructure.
The partnership has been formed to help financial institutions combat the rising volume and complexity of fraud within global payments systems. As transaction volumes grow and payment methods become faster, particularly with the expansion of instant payments, banks are under increasing pressure to detect and prevent fraudulent activity in real time. By integrating FraudAverse’s technology into Finastra’s Financial Messaging platform, the companies aim to give banks a stronger defence against evolving financial crime threats while also reducing the operational burden associated with fraud investigations.
Finastra provides software solutions to financial institutions around the world, supporting core banking, payments processing, lending operations and treasury management. Its Financial Messaging platform enables banks to securely manage and process global payment messages, helping them connect to international networks and streamline transaction flows across their operations.
FraudAverse focuses on financial crime prevention and fraud detection, delivering technology that uses artificial intelligence to identify suspicious activity across payment channels. Its platform analyses transaction patterns and behavioural signals in real time to detect both known and emerging fraud threats, helping financial institutions intervene before fraudulent transactions are completed.
Under the partnership, FraudAverse’s fraud detection platform has been pre-integrated into Finastra Financial Messaging. This integration allows banks using the platform to deploy real-time fraud monitoring capabilities more easily, without requiring extensive internal development or large IT deployments. The companies say the solution enables institutions to identify and mitigate fraud attacks quickly and accurately, while also supporting low latency processing required for instant payments.
The technology is designed to scale alongside increasing payment volumes and to support multiple messaging formats used across the global payments ecosystem. By reducing the time needed to investigate potential threats and offering a pre-integrated deployment model, the solution is intended to deliver operational efficiencies for financial institutions while strengthening transaction security.
According to the companies, FraudAverse’s AI-driven systems can deter up to 99% of fraudulent transactions by identifying abnormal activity patterns and emerging attack techniques before funds are moved. The integrated solution also aims to support banks handling real-time payment environments where decisions must be made instantly to prevent losses.
Finastra director of product management, FMM Stephanie Mitchell said, “As payment volumes grow and fraud tactics become more sophisticated, financial institutions must tap into robust, cloud-ready prevention solutions. Working with FraudAverse enables us to bring a flexible offering to banks which is optimized for today’s fast-moving payments landscape. We expect many of our customers will opt to make use of this pre-integrated solution.”
FraudAverse CEO Constantin von Altrock said, “Financial Crime prevention is a critical priority for financial institutions worldwide. Our collaboration with Finastra combines advanced AI technology with seamless integration, empowering customers to protect their transactions in real-time and with confidence.”
