Most payment risk controls focus on the customer sending the money. When the recipient account in a fraudulent transaction receives that transfer, the window for the bank to intervene has often already closed. Getting ahead of these transactions means bringing recipient-side intelligence into the payment decision before any funds leave the would-be victim's account.
The challenge
When money moves between institutions, financial crime teams at the sending institution typically only have visibility into the sending customer with limited or zero context on the receiving account. Criminals exploit this gap, using recipient accounts as cash-out channels to collect and move stolen funds before the risk is visible to any single institution. Transaction monitoring tells you what has already happened. It doesn't tell you whether the account receiving the funds is safe.


How we solve for it
BioCatch Trust strengthens payment risk assessment through a collaborative network that brings recipient-side intelligence into the decision before payment execution. Drawing on risk insights observed across participating institutions, banks can assess the receiving account in context, including suspicious activity, unusual payment flows, mule risk, and trusted payment relationships. Financial crime teams get a more complete view of both sides of the payment, detecting risky recipient accounts earlier and intervening before funds are released.
How intent reveals itself
Payee lifecycle anomalies
Recently opened, previously unused, or long-dormant accounts becoming active indicates elevated risk of fraudulent or mule-controlled recipients.
Incoming activity spikes
Sudden increases in transaction volume or velocity to a recipient account indicate elevated risk inconsistent with typical usage patterns.
Fraud exposure signals
Recipient accounts linked to recent high-risk activity such as ATO, scams, or mule behavior indicate elevated likelihood of fraudulent fund destination.
Synthesized intelligence:
Unified Collection. Continuous Telemetry. Behavioral Sequencing. Predictive Analysis. Real-time Decisioning.
No vendor has ever deployed behavioral intelligence at the scale we've proven possible. We continuously analyze more user sessions (16 billion and counting), collect more signals (3,000 plus), deliver more trusted insights, and protect more digital banking customers (more than half a billion) than any other behavior-centric digital-fraud-prevention solution provider. And we do it in the context of their device, the applications they use, and their transactional tendencies to deliver a trusted and accurate signal for a frictionless and secure customer experience.
