Ravelin is a paid fraud prevention and payments platform for online merchants and payment service providers. It covers payment fraud, refund and promotion abuse, account security, partner fraud, 3D Secure, and transaction optimization. For payment fraud integrations, customers send transaction and dispute details through an API and receive a recommendation about whether to continue processing. Ravelin combines custom machine learning, behavioral analysis, graph networks, consortium data, and expert rules. Its consortium database contains more than 9 billion anonymized identity elements; Ravelin says the data is GDPR-compliant. Teams can test rules in a sandbox, predict their impact, control the ruleset, and generate rules from natural-language prompts. Ravelin Insights provides performance monitoring, transaction-anomaly investigation, an AI query builder, and custom reports and dashboards. Transaction optimization uses issuer behavior, PSD2/SCA intelligence, and risk signals to recommend payment routes. Integration options include API endpoints, browser JavaScript, and iOS and Android SDKs. Pricing is available on request. The company says customers receive a dedicated account manager and specialist support teams.
