Cleafy recognised as a Challenger in KuppingerCole’s 2025 FRIP for Finance

Milan, Italy, 08th September 2025 - Cleafy has been recognised as a Challenger in KuppingerCole’s 2025 Leadership Compass for Fraud Reduction Intelligence Platforms in Finance.

This category perfectly reflects our approach: targeted, focused, and technically forward.

We’re not trying to win by volume or feature bloat. We’re building a new class of defence. One that makes threats visible before they become fraud.

Where others flag, we explain

Traditional systems flag transactions after the fact. That’s not visibility, it’s hindsight. Cleafy tracks the full session, the real behaviour, the story of the attack as it unfolds.

That’s why KuppingerCole recognised our strength in:

  • Real-time session intelligence and reconstruction
  • SIM swap, overlay, and session hijack detection
  • Cross-bank threat intelligence that flags mule accounts early
  • A platform that links cyber signals, fraud behaviour, and contextual understanding

Built for the CISO, not just the fraud team

We’re not another fraud dashboard. We’re not a legacy AML bolt-on. Cleafy integrates into security architectures as a visibility engine that connects fraud and cyber.

For CISOs: We cut noise, reduce risk, and integrate into your stack without adding operational drag.

For CTOs: We deploy cleanly via APIs, support real-time orchestration, and deliver signals that are explainable, fast, and actionable.

For Heads of Fraud: You get fewer alerts, more context, and earlier detection of the threats that matter.

A challenger by design

The "Leaders" in the report offer wide horizontal coverage across AML, IDV, sanctions screening, and more. That has its place. But it’s not what we do.

Cleafy goes deep, not wide. Our Fraud XDR platform gives banks early access to attacker behaviours hiding inside the session, the very patterns that traditional stacks miss. We’re not interested in replicating compliance tools. We’re building the missing piece of your security architecture.

Where the industry is going, not where it’s been

Fraud is now a cyber threat. Static thresholds, transaction scores, and stitched-together point tools can’t keep up. We apply XDR principles to the application layer, giving fraud and security teams unified visibility and real-time threat response across every session, device, and user action.

This isn’t layered defence, it’s connected intelligence.


Recognition from KuppingerCole is validation, not a finish line.

We’re proud to be recognised as a Challenger. It confirms what our customers already know: Cleafy is redefining how fraud is detected and how digital trust is defended.

Cleafy sees what others miss. And makes fraud unmissable.
