As AI-driven fraud becomes increasingly sophisticated, fintech startup xpate and global fraud-prevention leader SEON have joined forces to embed real-time intelligence into digital payments worldwide. The partnership integrates SEON’s machine learning–powered risk monitoring directly into xpate’s global payments platform, giving merchants access to adaptive fraud protection that keeps pace with emerging cyber threats.
The move comes amid a surge in AI-enabled scams: global consumer fraud losses climbed 25% in 2024 to reach $12.5 billion, while synthetic identity and deepfake attacks rose sharply. For xpate’s network of merchants operating in over 100 countries, traditional fraud defenses were no longer fast or flexible enough.

At the heart of the integration is SEON’s advanced data intelligence engine, which uses device fingerprinting, behavioral analytics, and adaptive machine learning to spot anomalies in real time. Combined with xpate’s unified payment infrastructure, the system enables instant fraud detection and smarter decision-making at scale.
By replacing reactive risk management with predictive intelligence, xpate and SEON are setting a new standard for frictionless, secure payments.
