Stolen Cards

Identify signs of stolen card usage, such as sudden spikes in transaction volume or geographically inconsistent transactions.

Gift Card Fraud

Spot rapid balance depletion or multiple gift card activations, indicating possible fraud.

Friendly Fraud

Detect if the cardholder's relative is using a card instead of the cardholder – based on Sardine behavior signals on how someone holds the phone.

Pre-built rulesets

Sardine comes bundled with hundreds of rules that are built on top of our feature store of over 4,000 expert fraud detection features.

Machine learning

Trained across billions of sessions, our models are tuned to high-ranking signals such as large foreign transactions, high velocity card spending, geolocation mismatches, and more.

Anomaly detection

Receive alerts when irregularities and sudden behavior changes are detected, such as spikes in transaction velocity or an unusual Card-Not-Present activity.

We combine thousands of device, behavior, identity, and consortium signals to stop the most challenging fraud typologies.

Stolen card usage

Triangulate stated vs true device location with merchant location to detect signs of card theft.

Managing Director, Identity and Fraud
I've worked in Fraud and AML for a long time, but I've never worked with a customer support team that's so accessible and effective. Sardine is like an extension of our team.”
Preston Miller
Manager, Fraud and Chargebacks
My favorite Sardine feature is that I can create complex rulesets to catch new fraud patterns, and then test them against the last 30/60/90 days. If they perform well, I can instantly push them to production. That’s game-changing.”
