Paytently Partners with SEON to Strengthen AML Compliance and Fraud Prevention
Paytently, a licensed payment institution and payment orchestration platform, has announced a strategic partnership with fraud prevention company SEON to enhance its anti-money laundering (AML) and fraud detection capabilities. The partnership will integrate SEON’s fraud prevention and compliance technology directly into Paytently’s platform, making fraud prevention a core part of its infrastructure rather than an add-on feature.
Strengthening Fraud Prevention at the Infrastructure Level
As a payment institution authorized by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA), Paytently connects merchants to a global network of payment acquirers. By integrating SEON’s technology into its platform, Paytently will now be able to provide real-time fraud detection, risk scoring, and device intelligence at the payment orchestration level.
The integration also includes sanctions screening, Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) monitoring, transaction velocity checks, and centralized case management tools. These features allow Paytently to monitor transactions, detect suspicious activity, and manage investigations from a single dashboard while ensuring compliance with regulatory reporting requirements.
Paytently CEO Samuel Barrett stated that operating as a regulated payment institution requires strong fraud prevention and AML systems built directly into the platform. He explained that SEON’s technology provides the real-time monitoring, intelligence, and case management tools necessary to meet regulatory standards while improving protection for merchants.
Benefits for Merchants
Beyond regulatory compliance, the partnership is expected to provide direct benefits to merchants using the platform. By detecting and stopping fraudulent activity earlier in the payment process, the system can reduce chargebacks and prevent card testing fraud.
In addition, cleaner transaction data and reduced fraud rates can improve payment approval rates for legitimate customers, helping merchants increase successful transactions and revenue.
SEON President Matt DeLauro explained that payment orchestration platforms require fraud and AML systems that operate at infrastructure scale. By embedding SEON’s technology directly into the platform, Paytently can provide centralized fraud protection and compliance monitoring without requiring merchants to manage multiple fraud prevention vendors.
Industry Impact
The partnership reflects a broader trend in the payments industry, where fraud prevention and regulatory compliance are becoming core infrastructure requirements rather than optional services. As digital payments continue to grow and fraud becomes more sophisticated, payment platforms are increasingly integrating real-time fraud detection and AML monitoring directly into their systems.
This integration model helps payment providers, merchants, and financial institutions improve security, maintain regulatory compliance, and reduce financial losses due to fraud.
