    Fraud.net is one of the first players in the risk management and financial technology sectors to create an AI-powered solution for Know-Your-Vendor (KYV). This practice is similar to Know-Your-Customer, as they both seek to ensure that the person or entity your business is transacting with is legitimate and trustworthy. Legacy solutions for KYV require tedious reviews and verification processes that often lead to gaps in protection. Our solution dramatically reduces that labor, leveraging our Application AI solution to quickly verify tax identification information, screen vendors against sanction lists, and more to de-risk outsourced vendors without the headache or potential vulnerability of manual processes. 

    Organizations like ours are also trusted over other existing solutions on the market - just look at our client lists! We are trusted by Arvato Bertelsmann, in our support and protection of their AfterPay solution, as well as Citibank, KPMG Bank, and ICBA, among others. We have also won some major awards for our outstanding solution, rewarded with a Platinum Award for our AI platform by Juniper Research, recognized by Wealth & Finance for our AI-Driven Fraud Prevention Tech Platform, and regularly named a leader in online fraud detection by Gartner. Our leader, Cathy Ross,  has also been recognized for the prestigious Stevie’s Women in Business Awards, where she won a bronze award for her efforts in thought leadership whilst operating this award-winning fraud prevention company.

  6. You have the option to answer this final question: Reference any attachments of supporting materials throughout this nomination and how they provide evidence of the claims you have made in this nomination (up to 250 words):

    Total 74 words used.

    Our case studies outline the powerful fraud prevention we provide and the value our clients receive from our service. Additionally, we've attached a press kit displaying our compliance, accolades, and testimonials from our clients. Finally, we've attached press releases of our most recent announcements, our partnership with Al Fardan, and the release of our Know Your Vendor (KYV) Solution. We believe this will accurately reflect the value and innovation we provide at our company.
