INETCO Unveils Fraud Investigation Solution BullzAI

INETCO Unveils Fraud Investigation Solution BullzAI
  • Transaction monitoring and fraud prevention company INETCO unveiled its fraud investigation tool, BullzAI Investigate.
  • A module within INETCO’s BullzAI fraud prevention platform, BullzAI Investigate uses agentic AI to scale fraud prevention operations, reduce false positives, and help prioritize high-risk cases.
  • INETCO made its Finovate debut at FinovateSpring 2015. The Vancouver, Canada-based company was founded in 1984.

Real-time transaction monitoring and payment fraud prevention solutions provider INETCO has launched its new fraud investigation tool, BullzAI Investigate. The new, AI-assisted solution leverages specialized agents to compile transaction data, analyze behavioral patterns, and triage incoming alerts. BullzAI Investigate then steers analysts toward the highest-risk cases and produces explainable, auditable risk scores for each recommendation.

Running on a proprietary small language model that is deployed inside the client’s own system, BullzAI Investigate keeps sensitive data on premises. The solution also uses analyst feedback to refine and improve system performance via a supervised machine-learning cycle. The company noted that the new module is designed to reduce false positives and the amount of manual effort required to analyze large volumes of fragmented transaction data. This enables fraud teams to focus on higher-priority threats.

“INETCO BullzAI Investigate gives banks and payment service providers an intelligent way to scale the productivity of their fraud operations, reduce false positives, and prioritize high-risk cases,” INETCO Chief Technology Officer Ugan Naidoo said. “Agentic AI automates the heavy lifting by collating transactions, triaging alerts, and delivering explainable risk scores that support faster, more transparent decisions. Rather than replacing analysts, INETCO BullzAI Investigate serves as an intelligent partner that works continuously behind the scenes, allowing fraud teams to investigate more effectively while human oversight remains firmly in control.”

INETCO BullzAI Investigate has shortened fraud investigation times from as much as 30 minutes to as little as 20 seconds in early deployments. The company also reported a 97% to 99% reduction in investigation time, reviews that were up to 90 times faster, and recommendation precision of approximately 95%.

The new offering adds to INETCO BullzAI, the company’s cyber fraud prevention platform launched in September 2021. When initially unveiled, the platform was notable for its ability to detect and block fraudulent payment transactions in milliseconds before they complete and without interrupting legitimate payments. The platform was most recently deployed by Saudi Arabian fintech solutions provider Alhamrani Universal in December via INETCO’s global partner, Stanchion Payments.

“INETCO BullzAI gives us real-time visibility across thousands of self-service and digital payment transactions—revealing which financial institutions and merchants are active, how transactions are performing and where suspicious behaviors or anomalies occur,” Alhamrani Universal Chief Operations Officer Mario Rouhana said. “By understanding the behavioral patterns of every user, terminal, and device, we can scale our business with confidence, respond instantly to emerging threats and reinforce the trust our customers, partners, and regulators place in Alhamrani Universal as a leader in secure digital transformation.”

Headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and founded in 1984, INETCO made its Finovate debut at FinovateSpring 2015. Today, the firm monitors more than 100 billion transactions a year, serving financial institutions and payment service providers around the world with end-to-end, secure payment visibility, adaptive modeling, and real-time fraud prevention.

INETCO’s Insight 7 Brings Machine Learning to Fraud Prevention

INETCO’s Insight 7 Brings Machine Learning to Fraud Prevention

Transaction monitoring and analytics company INETCO recently unveiled Insight 7, fraud detection technology for financial institutions and payment processors.

Insight 7 leverages payment data and machine learning algorithms to discern payment fraud in real time and reduce the number of false positives; keeping the bad guys out while allowing authentic consumers to proceed with their transactions. The new release’s fraud detection capabilities monitors for suspicious activity, including card present, card not present, and card reversal fraud; as well as provides transaction risk scoring, payment outlier detection, “man-in-the-middle” attacks, and more.

“Real-time transaction risk scoring on an individual customer basis is a game changing advancement from existing approaches that only rebuild customer models as part of a scheduled batch ETL (extract, transform and load) process,” said Ugan Naidoo, INETCO CTO. “The result is more precise risk scores for all types of card-present and card-not-present transactions, a streamlined escalation process and less customer friction.”

The real time nature of the technology is made possible through INETCO’s ability to view the entire path of a transaction. When malware or an ATM cash-out attack is detected, banks and payment processors will instantly know that the transaction has been tampered with.

INETCO is primarily distributing Insight 7 via partner sales. The company has strong relationships with NCR, Cognizant, and Fiserv, as well as global partners in Mexico, North Africa, and Eastern Europe.

The recent release builds on INETCO’s existing technology, including the ATM analytics technology the company demoed at FinovateEurope 2015. INETCO’s solutions, which are available in more than 50 countries, range from regulatory compliance to ATM monitoring to payment card analytics. Established in 1984, INETCO is a privately held company headquartered in Vancouver, Canada. Bijan Sanii is president and CEO.

Fiserv and INETCO Team Up to Enhance ATM Management

Fiserv and INETCO Team Up to Enhance ATM Management

FiservHomepage

Financial services giant Fiserv and transaction monitoring and analytics provider INETCO announced a partnership today that will benefit both parties.

Wisconsin-based Fiserv will act as a reseller for INETCO’s Insight and Analytics solutions, offering the products to ATM and self-service operators. INETCO, in turn, will integrate its real-time transaction data and analytics content into Fiserv’s Device Manager monitoring solution.

inetcoHomepage

Incorporating INETCO’s data analytics into Fiserv’s Device Manager solution will help ATM network managers increase the availability of devices and number of successful transactions by improving fault management, service management and troubleshooting. Additionally, the alerts offer managers visibility into transaction activity and the availability of currency across their network.

INETCO’s Marc Borbas, VP product marketing, and CFO Dallas Pretty debuted INETCO Analytics at FinovateSpring 2015. Last month BECU won the 2016 Celent Model Bank award in part for its INETCO-powered transaction-data streaming and transaction-analytics capabilities.

Fiserv showed off Mobiliti Enterprise at FinovateFall 2015 in New York and will debut its latest set of tools next week at FinovateSpring in San Jose. There’s still time to register—but hurry, there’s not much time left.
