The investment will be used to expand the startup’s presence in North America, LATAM, and APAC, build partnerships with e-commerce platforms, heighten product functionality, and integrate additional data sources to help customers better fight fraud.
The platform being used by the likes of Revolut, NuBank, Afterpay, Patreon, Sorare, and mollie, allows enterprises to plug into their system and go live within 24 hours.
