Agentic risk platform that helps banks, fintechs, and merchants prevent fraud, ensure compliance, and conduct KYC/AML operations using AI-powered automation.
Sardine AI is a Security & Compliance agentic risk platform that unifies fraud prevention, KYC/KYB onboarding, and AML compliance into a single AI-powered system, with pricing available only through enterprise contracts (no public self-serve tier). It is built for banks, fintechs, marketplaces, and merchants where regulatory scrutiny and growth pressure collide, and it serves over 400 enterprise customers including major financial institutions.
The platform combines device and behavioral intelligence, a configurable rules engine, machine learning models, a connections graph, and Sonar â a consortium data network that anonymizes and shares risk signals across member institutions to expose mule networks and coordinated fraud rings that no single organization could detect alone. According to Sardine's published metrics, the platform has screened more than $1.3 trillion in payments and profiled 5.4 billion devices, giving it one of the larger telemetry footprints in the financial-crime tooling space. Core product lines include Global KYC, Global KYB, Identity and Document Verification, Agentic Fraud Ops, Agentic AML Ops, Transaction Monitoring, Sanctions Screening, Case Management, and specialized modules for card issuing fraud, refund/policy abuse, account takeovers, and bot detection.
Compared to the other Security & Compliance tools in our directory of 870+ AI tools, Sardine differentiates through its agentic AI layer â autonomous agents that triage alerts, conduct onboarding reviews, and assist investigations rather than just scoring transactions. Where point solutions like Alloy focus narrowly on onboarding orchestration or Sift focuses on payment fraud scoring, Sardine consolidates onboarding, fraud, cyber, and AML into one platform with a 4.9/5 G2 rating. The company has raised $170 million from notable investors and is led by CEO Soups Ranjan (formerly head of risk at Coinbase). It is best suited for mid-market and enterprise risk teams ready to replace a stack of disconnected vendors with a unified, explainable, AI-native control plane.

Autonomous AI agents triage alerts, run onboarding reviews, and assist investigations across both fraud and AML queues. They are built to be explainable and to operate alongside human analysts, which is critical for regulated environments where every decision must be auditable. This reduces manual case-handling load for risk teams managing high alert volumes.
Sonar lets member institutions share anonymized risk signals â mule accounts, repeat abusers, fraud rings â across fintech, banking, and commerce. This cross-institution intelligence exposes coordinated patterns that any single organization would miss, while preserving privacy through anonymization. It becomes a structural moat as the network grows.
Sardine has profiled 5.4 billion devices, capturing behavioral biometrics, device fingerprints, and session signals to detect bots, account takeovers, and synthetic identities at the moment of interaction. These signals feed onboarding, payment, and login decisions in real time. The depth of telemetry is one of Sardine's strongest competitive moats.
A single onboarding stack handles Global KYC, KYB, identity and document verification, bank account verification, and credit underwriting. Risk teams can configure orchestrated workflows that route applicants through the right checks based on geography, risk level, and product. This replaces the multi-vendor onboarding stacks that most fintechs assemble today.
A flexible rules engine with workflow automation lets analysts encode policies without engineering tickets, while the connections graph visualizes relationships between users, devices, payment instruments, and accounts to surface fraud rings. Combined with case management, this gives investigators a unified workspace from alert to disposition. The graph is particularly useful for first-party fraud and synthetic identity investigations.
