Not sure which service fits? Describe the problem and your environment; the first discussion focuses on defining the right scope.

The problem

Static rule engines catch fraud after the damage is already done.

Fraud disputes create direct financial, operational and reputational pressure for financial institutions. Legacy systems built around post-event review can leave teams reacting after funds have moved.

Post-authorisation review

Fraud is found after the money moves

Rule-based engines and lookup systems flag fraud once a transaction has already been triggered — forcing banks into costly disputes and reactive investigations instead of prevention.

Regulatory exposure

The liability now sits with the bank

When suspicious activity is detected only after completion, financial institutions face investigation costs, customer remediation demands and potential financial loss.

Blind to execution threats

Modern attacks happen mid-transaction

Terminal manipulation and transaction rerouting occur while a payment is in flight. Legacy infrastructure has no visibility into the execution window — it only sees the outcome.

Trust erosion

Every incident costs a customer

Each unresolved fraud dispute compounds churn risk. Banks need a way to stop the loss before it happens, not a faster way to process the claim afterward.

The solution

Pre-emptive data evaluation, inside the authorisation window.

Instead of relying only on review after authorisation, CELT-UV is designed to evaluate five live data vectors — app behaviour, device, location, transaction pattern and merchant score — while a payment decision is still in progress.

01 / PRE-EMPTION

Kill before capital moves

When an anomaly is identified mid-stream, our integrated CELT-UV architecture terminates the transaction in real time — before funds ever leave the originating bank.

02 / ZERO FRICTION

Invisible to legitimate users

The architecture is designed to return risk decisions within the payment flow, supporting low-friction handling for legitimate transactions.

03 / LIABILITY SHIELD

Loss prevented at the source

By supporting intervention before authorisation, CELT-UV is intended to help financial institutions reduce preventable fraud loss and downstream dispute pressure.

Solutions by fraud pattern

Recognise the risk before it becomes a completed loss.

CELT-UV is designed to help financial institutions evaluate contextual risk across card, account, device, beneficiary and instant-payment journeys. Controls can be adapted to the institution’s channel, risk policy and authorisation architecture.

01 / CARD JOURNEYS

Card-not-present fraud

Evaluates risk associated with remote card payments using device, session, location, transaction-pattern and merchant context.

02 / ACCOUNT ACCESS

Account takeover

Supports detection and interdiction of suspicious sessions where behaviour, device integrity or location differs from expected use.

03 / PHYSICAL CARD RISK

Lost, stolen, skimmed or cloned cards

Designed to help prevent misuse by comparing live transaction context with established device, location and spending patterns.

04 / EXECUTION THREATS

Replay, relay, proxy and remote-access spoofing

Evaluates device, session and transaction signals that may indicate replayed requests, relayed payment activity, proxy use or remote-control interference.

05 / MANIPULATED PAYMENTS

Social-engineering and authorised push payment fraud

Supports contextual review of unusual payment behaviour, beneficiary changes and scam-linked patterns before an instant transfer is released.

06 / IDENTITY RISK

Synthetic identity fraud

Combines transaction and contextual intelligence to identify activity that may not match the expected profile of an account or session.

07 / NETWORKED FRAUD

Collusive fraud

Supports investigation and interdiction of coordinated behaviour across related devices, sessions, merchants or beneficiary patterns.

08 / BENEFICIARY RISK

Mule accounts and suspicious beneficiaries

Evaluates beneficiary and transaction context to help identify unusual destinations, velocity and money-movement patterns.

09 / INSTANT PAYMENTS

UPI and other real-time payment fraud

Designed for payment environments where institutions need a contextual risk decision inside a short authorisation window.

10 / SESSION INTEGRITY

Device and session spoofing

Supports detection of integrity anomalies, unfamiliar devices, location inconsistencies and behavioural changes during digital banking sessions.

How CELT-UV works

A three-stage fraud prevention pipeline, running inside the payment gateway.

ITokenize

Wrap the payment in a one-time CELT-UV

The engine wraps the payment in a unique, one-time Cryptographic Ephemeral Limit Token — Upgraded Version. Dynamic spending limits and authorisation rules are bound directly to the token payload.

CELTUV_PAYLOAD { token: ephemeral, single-use spend_limit: dynamic auth_rules: bound-to-payload }
IIIngest

Five live vectors, evaluated pre-authorisation

The API is designed to ingest five live signals before a transaction is authorised, providing context about the session, device, location, transaction pattern and merchant.

App Behavior Usage pattern match
Device Integrity + ID check
Location Geo consistency
Txn Pattern Spend behaviour

IIIDecide

Interdict mid-transaction, or authorise

When risk signals exceed an institution’s configured threshold, the decision engine can support interdiction or additional controls. Transactions below that threshold can continue through the institution’s authorisation path.

Why DataSchutz

Controls built around the transaction decision itself.

DataSchutz combines fraud-prevention research with practical cybersecurity and infrastructure experience, supporting evaluation from sandbox design through integration planning.

Inside the authorisation window

Risk is evaluated while the transaction can still be approved, challenged or stopped.

Contextual risk signals

Device, session, location, behaviour, transaction and merchant context inform decisions.

Low-friction decisions

The architecture is intended to avoid unnecessary steps for legitimate users.

API-oriented integration

CELT-UV is designed for integration with payment and digital-banking decision flows.

Privacy-conscious telemetry

Contextual risk evaluation is designed around purpose-limited signals rather than broad identity collection.

Auditable outcomes

Decision factors can support explainable review and institution-specific governance.

Pilot and sandbox support

Evaluation can begin in controlled environments before any production decision is considered.

Security beyond the API

Cybersecurity, network and infrastructure services support the wider control environment.

Privacy-conscious architecture

Strict purpose limitation — telemetry, not identity.

CELT-UV is designed around purpose-limited telemetry for transaction risk scoring and security evaluation. DART - Dynamic Authorization and Risk Tokenisation (an API for fraud prevention in instant payment systems like UPI, Payshap, Wero, Pix and Fedpay) remains under development.

Data-minimisation intent

The architecture is designed not to require names, national identity numbers or bank account numbers for its contextual risk models. Final data handling depends on the agreed integration and the customer’s operating environment.

What we ingest

  • User app behaviour
  • Device integrity signals
  • Location
  • Merchant / POS score
  • Transaction patterns

Telemetry separation, retention and access controls can be defined during integration to support the customer’s applicable privacy and governance obligations.
