A platform built for how financial crime actually works

Soups Ranjan - CEO and Cofounder of Sardine

Financial crime doesn't operate in silos, so the systems designed to stop it should not either.

Over the past decade, fraud has become faster, more coordinated, and more automated. Yet many risk teams are still forced to rely on disconnected tools that were never designed to work together.

Sardine was built to change that. We believe the future of fraud prevention is unified, real-time, and explainable. It is powered by AI, shaped by human judgment, and rooted in trust.

Our goal is simple: Help teams stop fraud earlier, protect customers better, and move with confidence as the financial system continues to evolve.

AI Illustration

Sardine uses AI to surface risk faster, resolve noise automatically, and help risk teams focus on what actually matters. Our models are transparent, explainable, and designed to work alongside human judgment. Not replace it.

From onboarding reviews to investigations, our agents help risk teams tackle financial crime at scale.

Intelligence that gets stronger together

By sharing anonymized risk intelligence, members gain earlier visibility into mule networks, repeat abusers, and coordinated fraud while maintaining privacy and control.

Sonar is Sardine’s consortium network, connecting signals across fintech, banking, and commerce to expose fraud patterns no single organization can see alone.

We’ve raised $170 million from some of the world’s most respected investors
