Meet Pleo: The fintech staying ahead in financial crime detection
In today’s financial landscape, AI is both a powerful tool and a growing threat. While AI-driven solutions enable fintechs to detect and prevent fraud with remarkable accuracy, they also equip bad actors with the ability to develop increasingly sophisticated attacks. For businesses handling high transaction volumes, traditional rule-based fraud detection simply can’t keep up. Staying ahead isn’t optional—it’s mission-critical.
As a leading spend management platform serving over 37,000 businesses, Pleo understands these stakes. With rapid growth and increasingly complex transactions, Pleo needed a fraud detection system that evolves as fast as the threats it faces. That’s why Pleo chose Taktile’s Decision Platform—a solution designed for proactive fraud detection and prevention.
Hannah Becher, Sr. Lead for Decision Intelligence at Pleo, explains:
“This partnership marks an important advancement in our security infrastructure, harnessing the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect unusual activity with enhanced precision and speed.”
Why Pleo chose Taktile to strengthen its fraud detection and compliance capabilities
As Pleo explored potential partners for its fraud solution, Taktile stood out as the clear choice. Its advanced detection capabilities, coupled with an intuitive interface for designing, testing, and validating new fraud scenarios, made a significant impact on Pleo’s decision.
"Taktile’s superior detection capabilities and intuitive user interface for designing, testing, and validating new scenarios enable our teams to become better decision makers. This matters greatly in today's fast-paced financial landscape,” says Hannah.
She continues, "With Taktile, we're looking forward to moving away from gut instinct and becoming more data-driven in our approach to fighting financial crime. The ability to quickly adapt to emerging threats while maintaining a smooth customer experience aligned perfectly with our goals at Pleo.”
How Pleo balances real-time fraud prevention and seamless transactions
Fraud prevention and anti-money laundering (AML) measures are essential, but they shouldn’t slow down business operations or disrupt customer transactions. With Taktile’s AI-driven decisioning, Pleo ensures both security and speed, reducing friction while enhancing fraud detection.
By integrating Taktile’s technology, Pleo’s Decision Intelligence team gains:
- Full control over risk assessments, customizing detection models to fit exact needs.
- Real-time monitoring beyond transactions, identifying fraudulent activity across multiple touchpoints.
- Advanced fraud detection patterns, transforming raw data into predictive insights.
This results in:
- A predictive, risk-based approach that dynamically adapts to new fraud threats.
- Fewer false positives, allowing Pleo customers to transact with confidence and minimal disruption.
- Stronger compliance, ensuring seamless adaptation to evolving regulatory requirements across the UK and Europe.
- Scalable protection, keeping fraudsters at bay as Pleo and its customers expand.
Future-proofed fraud prevention
Pleo’s partnership with Taktile isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a strategic investment in long-term security and operational efficiency. As Pleo scales, it requires solutions that can protect transactions without slowing down business growth.
The result? Stronger protection, seamless transactions, and greater confidence for every business that relies on Pleo.
