The Challenge

Traditional KYC processes relied heavily on static rules and manual reviews.

Fraud patterns evolved rapidly across digital onboarding and transaction flows.

The bank lacked a unified risk view across identity verification and transactional behaviour.

Manual risk assessments slowed onboarding and increased operational cost.

False positives led to unnecessary customer friction and escalations.

The institution required a predictive and explainable risk model aligned with regulatory expectations.

Our Solution

Techno Consultancy designed and implemented a predictive risk scoring and fraud detection framework that evaluated customer risk continuously across onboarding and transaction stages. The solution combined identity signals, behavioural data, and transaction patterns to support real time and ongoing risk assessment.
