SEON has partnered with Yuno to make its fraud prevention and identity verification services available through Yuno’s global payments infrastructure. Customers can access the services through the integration they already use for payments, rather than building a separate connection to SEON.
The arrangement adds a fraud and identity provider to Yuno’s vendor-agnostic platform. Merchants, banks and wallets can choose the risk services that fit their operations alongside payment methods, incoming and outgoing payments, and customer or business verification.
Yuno says its infrastructure connects businesses with more than 1,000 payment methods across 190 countries and includes over 460 integrations. Its single application programming interface supports payment processing as well as fraud prevention, Know Your Customer and Know Your Business checks, and stablecoin services.
SEON evaluates customer risk using more than 1,100 real-time data inputs, according to the company. These cover digital footprints, device information and behavioral data, including activity after an account has been opened. The partnership makes those capabilities available within the same infrastructure used to manage payments across markets.
Troy Nyi Nyi, SEON’s senior vice president and general manager for Asia-Pacific, said international merchants encounter fraud patterns that vary by geography, payment method and customer behavior. He said the integration gives Yuno customers access to fraud prevention and identity verification across those dimensions without a separate implementation.
Yuno chief financial services officer Mauricio Schwartzmann said businesses expanding internationally need fraud and risk infrastructure to scale alongside payments. The companies position the partnership as an additional option for customers, consistent with Yuno’s model of allowing businesses to select their providers.
SEON’s identity verification service combines document verification, liveness checks and proof-of-address processing with its fraud assessment tools. Those checks address the person presenting a credential, while device and account information provide additional context for the broader transaction.
The company has also expanded configurable anti-money laundering search profiles and watchlist screening, allowing customers to tailor screening to their requirements.
Within SEON’s broader platform, AI tools can detect connections among suspected fraud activity, build rules, visualize data and draft regulatory reports. Customers can also connect their own AI tools to its risk data. The Yuno partnership provides another distribution route for SEON’s combined fraud, identity and compliance services through an existing payments integration.
