Our take
Ravelin has developed machine learning-based technology that helps online merchants and their payment service providers reduce losses to fraud, and improve acceptance rates of orders.
The company is aiming to give merchants more confidence in accepting customers and transactions, while tackling organised fraud rings - a problem Ravelin says is a multi-billion dollar problem for the ecommerce industry.
Tackling this problem means there is significant value in Ravelin's offering, and it has already signed up significant enterprise customers like Just Eat and Quiqup. In 2022, the company partnered with Mastercard to enhance its platform, and help more merchants strengthen their fraud detection capabilities.
