Solutions

Built for the way
modern commerce actually works.

FUGU is the first fraud platform to decouple payment acceptance from payment verification — fighting fraud at every point of the transaction lifecycle, not just at checkout. Six solutions, one continuous risk engine.

New in 2026

AI agents have entered commerce. Most fraud systems don't know how to handle them.

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other agents are beginning to shop on behalf of consumers. FUGU helps merchants distinguish trusted automation from emerging fraud patterns.

Revenue recovery

Most declined orders aren't fraud. They're missed revenue.

Industry research shows that many declined transactions belong to legitimate customers. FUGU helps merchants recover that revenue without increasing fraud exposure.

Core engine

A risk engine that learns throughout the transaction lifecycle.

Risk shouldn't be frozen at checkout. FUGU continuously reassesses transactions as new signals emerge.

Full transaction analysis

Risk isn't decided at checkout.
It's understood over time.

Most fraud systems hand down a verdict in milliseconds and never look again. FUGU treats every transaction as a living case — scored at creation, monitored through fulfillment, and reassessed each time a new signal arrives.

The problem

A checkout decision is a snapshot.
Fraud is a film.

Traditional systems approve or decline in the milliseconds before payment, then close the case forever. But the signals that matter most — behavior, delivery, disputes — only appear after.

~80% of declined orders were never fraud. When the only data you have fits in a 40-millisecond window, the safe move is to over-decline — and quietly hand revenue to your competitors.

The unlock

It starts by decoupling acceptance from verification.

Traditional systems force one decision at one moment: accept and verify, together, in milliseconds. FUGU was the first to pull them apart — so you can approve the payment instantly at checkout and keep verifying as long as the order is alive.

  • Acceptance optimized for conversion — no friction at the worst moment
  • Verification runs in parallel, before and after the payment clears
  • Two decisions, one continuous risk engine behind them
Acceptance
Verification
Checkout
One transaction, two decisions.
How it works

Risk doesn't get scored once.
It gets re-evaluated continuously.

Every order travels four stages of analysis. As more signal arrives — from creation through delivery — the score moves with it.

Inside the engine

Built to keep looking.

Opening assessment

An opening score the moment an order lands.

Before payment is even authorized, FUGU reads session data, device fingerprint, IP and geolocation, and web interactions to classify the order into a risk scenario. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur.

Post-checkout sensors

Sensors that keep watching after payment.

The moment a card clears isn't the end of the story — it's where the signal starts. FUGU collects behavioral evidence across the delivery window and re-scores high-value carts before they ship. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.

Risk scenarios

Scenarios you can tune to how you sell.

Every business has a different fraud signature. Risk scenarios are customizable buckets you can adjust by season, sales channel or customer segment — so verification fires only when it's worth the friction. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing.

Onboarding risk management

Onboarding isn't a one-time check.
It's the start of a lifetime.

AI-based, continuous fraud analysis across the entire user lifetime — built for modern agentic e-commerce. Identity, intent and behavior, scored from pre-registration onward. Partnered with Telesign.

The shift

From point-in-time checks to continuum monitoring.

Modern fraud doesn't show up as a single bad event at signup. It hides in lifecycle patterns — exploiting marketing spend, CAC and growth incentives.

01

The problem

Modern fraud exploits marketing spend, CAC and growth incentives — economic distortion, not just theft.

02

The gap

Legacy tools check at signup or payment. Modern fraud hides in lifecycle patterns, not single events.

03

The solution

Analyze identity, intent and behavior continuously over the user lifetime — not static snapshots.

04

The result

Protected CAC ROI, aligned promo costs, and fraud prevention that becomes a growth lever, not a cost centre.

Lifetime coverage

Most tools stop at registration. FUGU keeps working.

Before, during, and long after signup — one continuous risk score that follows the user, not the moment.

Why it matters

Fraud hides in distribution patterns, not a single event.

Static checks verify only at signup — leaving blind spots on cross-account behavior, premature declines, and no feedback loop. The attack is spread across accounts, devices and time.

How it works

Identity + intent + behavior, over time.

One initial check, then a score that never stops learning: Identity check → Classify to your risk appetite → Monitor → Reassess whenever a new signal appears. 200+ data points across 3 categories and 10 time-sensitive models.

The PSP dilemma

Build it, lose them, or offer it.

Internal fraud infrastructure is expensive and still competes with the vendors merchants bring in anyway. Standing still means watching them leave for better-tooled processors. There's a third path.

Build it internally

Risk engines, data networks, ML teams, regulatory expertise. Years and millions — and you're still playing catch-up with best-of-breed vendors.

Do nothing

Merchants churn to processors that bundle better fraud tooling. Lost volume, lost stickiness, and no answer when they ask what you offer.

FUGU modular layer

Deploy what you need today, light up more later. Lower your own exposure and open a new revenue line — from one platform, no re-platforming.

How it deploys

One platform, two revenue paths.

The decoupling architecture means you can surface exactly the capabilities you want — for your own book, for your merchants, or both.

The catch with most guarantees

Most guarantees protect the guarantor, not you.

Low approval rates, slow reimbursement, and “guaranteed” categories that exclude the high-risk cases where coverage matters most.

FUGU validates each transaction all the way to shipment — so we don’t have to over-decline to manage our own exposure. We approve more, and back it with real money.

New in 2026

AI agents have entered commerce.
Most fraud systems don't know how to handle them.

ChatGPT checks out. Operator browses and buys. FUGU tells trusted automation apart from emerging fraud — by judging the transaction, not whether a human clicked.

The problem

Legacy systems flag the exact patterns that define an agent.

Too fast, too consistent, no mouse jitter. Bot detection blocks legitimate AI-driven purchases and behavioral scoring rejects real revenue — because the model was trained on a world that no longer exists.

FUGU doesn’t care whether a transaction came from a human or an agent. It cares whether the payment is legitimate and whether the order will deliver value — judged across the full lifecycle.

The shift

The wave isn't coming. It's already here.

Agentic commerce is projected to grow from near-zero to roughly 20% of online checkouts within five years. Merchants without an agent-aware strategy face a binary choice: block everything new, or accept everything new.

Revenue recovery

Most declined orders aren't fraud.
They're missed revenue.

Roughly 80% of orders blocked by fraud systems are legitimate — an estimated $300B left on the table every year. FUGU recovers them without adding fraud exposure.

The cost of “better safe than sorry”

For most merchants, false declines cost more than actual fraud.

Traditional systems make a single binary decision at checkout, with limited information. Anything unfamiliar — a new device, an unusual address, a foreign card — tips the score toward decline. The customer doesn't get a second chance.

~$300B in legitimate revenue is left behind across global ecommerce every year.

100 declined orders
80 were legit
The recovery

A decline at checkout doesn't have to be final.

FUGU's decoupling approach accepts the payment, then keeps analyzing. Sensors collect post-purchase signals, verification handles edge cases without friction, and the score re-evaluates as evidence arrives.

Company

Built on a simple belief:
every legitimate customer deserves a yes.

Before the internet, Grandpa Moshe never turned customers away. Trust was built in person, over time. Today's online merchants face a harder version of that same question — and most fraud systems answer it badly. FUGU rebuilt the answer from scratch.

Why FUGU

Declining customers should be the exception, not the strategy.

Growing competition and rising online traffic costs forced merchants to adopt frictionless checkout experiences — limiting their ability to verify transactions before payment. The result: a generation of fraud tools built to make snap decisions in milliseconds, declining anything that smelled unfamiliar.

The rise of advanced fraud types — synthetic identities, friendly fraud, account takeover — exposed the limits of that approach. These patterns are simply undetectable at the payment phase. They reveal themselves only after.

So we asked the obvious question: what if you could keep watching? What if the fraud decision didn't have to end at checkout? FUGU is the answer — the first continuous, post-payment fraud mitigation architecture, designed to fight for every legitimate transaction, not against it.

Values

Four principles that guide every decision.

From product roadmap to customer onboarding, these are the convictions we keep coming back to.

01

Decision over decline.

Saying no is easy. Saying yes responsibly is the work. We default to finding the path that keeps revenue moving and trust intact.

02

Risk is a story, not a moment.

A fraud signal at checkout is one frame of a longer narrative. We listen to the whole transaction lifecycle before we make conclusions.

03

Build for the merchant first.

Fraud teams shouldn't have to learn five tools to do one job. Every feature we ship has to make merchant operations simpler, not just more sophisticated.

04

Be honest with the numbers.

Performance-based pricing only works if we show our work. We're transparent about what we caught, what we missed, and what we recovered.
