About BioCatch

BioCatch prevents financial crime by recognizing patterns in human behavior.

We continuously collect more than 3,000 anonymized data points – keystroke and mouse activity, touch screen behavior, physical device attributes, and more – as people interact with their digital banking platforms. With these inputs, our machine-learning models reveal patterns in user behavior and provide device intelligence that, together, distinguish the criminal from the legitimate.

Today, more than 30 of the world's largest 100 banks and 287 total financial institutions deploy our solutions, analyzing 16 billion user sessions per month and protecting 532 million people around the world from fraud and financial crime.

Fraud is incessant, pervasive, and ever-evolving. It’s relentless. And that's why, at BioCatch, we fight to make banking safer every day.
