Alloy

Alloy provides an identity and fraud prevention platform for banks, fintechs and credit unions, covering customer onboarding, ongoing fraud detection and regulatory compliance across the customer lifecycle. Clients pull customer information, traditional credit bureau data and alternative data through a single API integration in order to automate identity decisions at account origination and monitor accounts on an ongoing basis.

The platform is described in three layers: an open, vendor-neutral data ecosystem offering access to 270+ partner solutions; an orchestration engine that routes inputs, sequences vendor calls and manages dependencies across workflows; and an "Actionable AI" layer combining predictive machine learning with agentic AI. Named AI components include Fraud Attack Radar (portfolio-level detection of coordinated fraud attacks), Fraud Signal (an identity-centric machine learning model that scores fraud risk from first touch onward) and an AI Assistant that analyzes case triggers and recommends next steps for risk and compliance operations. Product lines are organized around onboarding, full-lifecycle fraud prevention, and end-to-end compliance including perpetual KYC/KYB and AML checks, with support for embedded finance programs.

At the time of its September 2022 funding announcement, the company reported over 300 customers, more than 160 connected data sources and over one million decisions processed daily; company materials since then cite over 900 financial institution and fintech customers and 270+ partner solutions.
