About BioCatch
BioCatch sells BioCatch Connect, a fraud and financial crime platform that unites real-time telemetry, behavioral analysis, and predictive intelligence to detect and prevent account opening fraud, account takeover, social engineering scams, and mule accounts. BioCatch Connect continuously analyzes thousands of applications, behavioral, device, network, and transactional signals for financial service organizations. BioCatch Connect is a collection of patented machine learning, behavioral science and advanced visualization technologies. The science behind the BioCatch approach powers its Continuous Behavioral Sequencing (CBS) technology. BioCatch pairs multi-signal fraud telemetry with behavioral intelligence to give real-time context across every digital interaction.[3][4]
BioCatch says criminals have shifted their focus from systems to people, using coercion, manipulation, and social engineering to bypass controls. BioCatch applies behavioral biometrics to give financial institutions real-time insights for preventing fraud. BioCatch behavioral biometrics uses machine learning to analyze patterns in human behavior. BioCatch describes typing speed, swipe patterns, and mouse clicks as showing either cybercriminal activity or genuine user behavior. BioCatch use cases span origination, customer protection, financial crimes, device intelligence, and agentic AI.[3][5]
BioCatch describes an offering for account opening that analyzes every account opening interaction to distinguish genuine applicants from stolen identities, synthetic accounts, and mule activity. BioCatch describes an offering that continuously monitors sessions beyond the point of login to identify remote access, malware, and impersonation activity. BioCatch describes an offering that identifies mule activity by analyzing behavioral patterns, device intelligence, and network associations across the account lifecycle. BioCatch describes an offering that detects the cognitive behavioral signals of scam activity, including hesitation, confusion, and external pressure. BioCatch describes an offering that enables financial institutions to assess the trustworthiness of receiving accounts in real time before payments are completed, using a collaborative intelligence network that operates without sharing personally identifiable information. BioCatch describes a device offering that assesses whether a device can be trusted, identifying modified operating environments, remote access tools, and cross-institution device risk.[3]
BioCatch identifies signs of coercion and manipulation across both romance and investment scam scenarios. BioCatch treats hesitation during payment flows, longer press or click times, and rare typing patterns as suggesting uncertainty or external influence. For investment scams, BioCatch treats remote-access or screen-broadcasting activity, abnormal payment velocity, and crypto-related payment behavior as raising risk, particularly when combined with coaching signals. BioCatch uses intelligence from the user device, such as recent installs of dating, money transfer, and crypto apps, as indicative of a potential victim.[6]
BioCatch Trust is an inter-bank, real-time financial-crime intelligence network that unites financial institutions against fraud and money laundering. BioCatch Trust connects banks through a shared layer of behavioral, device, network, and transaction intelligence. BioCatch Trust protects member-bank customers against financial crime, fraud, and scams by assessing in real time the trustworthiness of the accounts to which they direct their transfers and payments. If the network flags a receiving account as suspicious, BioCatch Trust shares this intelligence with the sending bank in real time, so the institution can suspend and investigate the transaction before any money leaves the sender’s account. The four largest banks in Australia agreed to share intelligence in real time by joining BioCatch Trust Australia. In May 2025, Banco Galicia, Naranja X, and Santander joined BioCatch Trust Argentina. BioCatch Trust analyzes recipient-side patterns and network-level signals in real time to detect scams including BEC, romance, investment, and purchase. BioCatch Trust is built with hashed account identifiers, data masking, encryption, and strict role-based access controls. BioCatch Trust is compliant with GDPR, SOC 2 Type 2, and ISO 27001, and is overseen by a dedicated Data Protection Officer.[3][7]
