Sardine operates at the intersection of advanced machine learning and real-time financial security, building systems that have secured over $150 billion in payments for more than 300 banks, retailers, and fintechs across 70 countries. Founded in 2020, the company has scaled rapidly, backed by $145 million in funding, to address some of the most sophisticated threats in digital commerce: identity fraud, payment fraud, account takeovers, and social engineering scams.
At the core of Sardine's platform is the integration of device intelligence, behavior biometrics, and artificial intelligence. This approach allows the system to detect and prevent fraudulent activity before losses occur, having stopped attempts totaling more than $21 billion. The technology moves beyond static rules, analyzing how users interact with devices and systems to identify anomalies indicative of malicious intent.
Engineers and data scientists at Sardine work across domains including machine learning, behavior biometrics, and AI to develop and refine a unified risk platform. The work is consequential: the systems built directly protect financial infrastructure for major institutions globally, operating at a scale where technical decisions have significant real-world impact.
