The partnership gives Equals Money, part of Equals Group PLC, industry leading Payment Fraud, Anti-Money Laundering and Card Fraud Prevention solutions through Featurespace’s ARIC Risk Hub.
The partnership will help Equals deliver payments and foreign exchange (FX) solutions that are fast, straightforward, and adaptive to ever-changing markets. ARIC Risk Hub provides a best in class solution for fraud detection and best performing models. In addition, ARIC Risk Hub’s self-learning technology gives Equals the ability to apply adaptive machine learning models to identify fraud that standard rules-based systems would otherwise miss. Using this new system, Equals can continue to offer money movement solutions that are simple and safe.
“Born in 2005 out of a desire to use technology to give customers a better deal, we continually push ourselves to innovate on the security and infrastructure of payments. That’s why this partnership with Featurespace to deliver its ARIC Risk Hub is so important,” said Equals Group’s Chief Operating Officer, Matthijs Boon.
“Featurespace’s ARIC Risk Hub enables us to be at the forefront of technology and get ahead of anticipated regulatory developments. It will help us to be more responsive to customers, process transactions more quickly and be more insightful in our transaction monitoring.”
“Equals is doing some really innovative work in the world of money management for enterprise customers,” said Matt Mills, Featurespace’s Chief Commercial Officer.
“As part of this they have shown that they take the security and safety of their customers very seriously, which means using the fraud and financial crime detection platform – and getting it operational as fast as possible.
“We are delighted to partner with Equals to protect them and their customers from unforeseen attacks while also ensuring the highest acceptance rates in the industry”.
