Sardine
Fraud prevention and AML compliance for fintech, banks, and crypto
About
Sardine is a fraud-prevention and compliance platform built for fintechs, banks, marketplaces, and crypto companies, combining device intelligence, behavioral biometrics, KYC/KYB onboarding checks, and AML transaction monitoring in one risk stack. It's SOC 2 Type II certified and recently launched Sardine AI Labs, an applied research group training foundation models on its transaction data. Pricing is custom and volume-based, so it's built for companies with real transaction scale, not side projects — and like all fraud vendors, its accuracy claims are hard to verify independently.
