Recognition highlights INETCO BullzAI’s real-time transaction intelligence, adaptive machine learning and in-flight fraud prevention capabilities
VANCOUVER, B.C., JUNE 25, 2026 — INETCO, a global leader in real-time payment fraud prevention, is proud to announce that it has been named a Category Leader in the 2026 RiskTech Quadrants® for Enterprise Fraud Solutions and Payment Fraud Solutions by Chartis Research.
With increasingly sophisticated attacks exploiting gaps between systems, payment channels and jurisdictions, the Chartis recognition reflects INETCO’s ability to help financial institutions replace fragmented, reactive payment fraud controls with an integrated, AI-driven approach capable of detecting and blocking high-risk transactions before authorization.
“INETCO’s Category Leader placement in our RiskTech Quadrants® reflects its focus on payments infrastructure and an AI-powered ability to interdict individual payments,” said Philip Mackenzie, Senior Research Principal at Chartis. “INETCO also differentiates itself by combining granular transaction intelligence with a unique machine learning approach for real-time transaction monitoring, analysis and intervention.”
Across 38 fraud platforms evaluated, INETCO BullzAI scored particularly high in:
- AI and GenAI functionality that includes smart investigation agents and explainable risk scoring
- Advanced and proprietary fraud detection techniques such as a patented transaction firewall that blocks fraud at the transaction level to reduce false positives
- Analytics capabilities including behavioral models that continuously self-learn for every individual customer, card, device and terminal — and update after every transaction
- The speed, volume capacity and undisrupted performance of its core real-time transaction monitoring and AI-powered message-level intelligence analysis
- Solution packaging and deployment of core rules, machine learning models, AI agents and automated workflows
“Financial institutions are facing increasingly sophisticated fraud attacks that combine social engineering, identity compromise, card fraud, malware, rogue terminals, botnets and other AI-powered tactics,” said Bijan Sanii, CEO and Founder of INETCO. “We are proud to receive this recognition, which highlights the scope, effectiveness and innovation of our fraud prevention capabilities, and affirms our commitment to helping organizations protect customers by staying ahead of evolving threats.”
According to a new Chartis collaborative research report that showcases the business impact delivered by an INETCO BullzAI deployment at a leading bank, this approach enables financial institutions to:
- Detect zero-day attacks, multi-vector fraud and evolving threat patterns within milliseconds across all banking channels, including ATM, POS, mobile, internet and real-time payment rails
- Block fraudulent transactions before authorization or financial loss occurs, without disrupting legitimate customer interactions
- Access deeper behavioral insights for every customer, device and terminal through granular transaction intelligence, adaptive machine learning models and explainable AI
- Increase the efficiency and effectiveness of fraud case management with agentic AI agents, automated workflows and proprietary small language models
“Understanding every in-flight transaction at the individual message level allows financial institutions to respond with far greater speed and precision,” Sanii said. “Instead of broadly declining transactions or investigating fraud after losses occur, banks can protect customers, stop fraud in real time, and focus their analysts on the events that present the greatest risk.”
