🌍 Dealing with Local Data

• Banks in Africa often struggle because financial data is fragmented. Scams usually jump between mobile wallets and bank transfers, making them hard to track.

• While Western fraud tools exist, they often fail in these regions because market behaviors are different. Preventing these losses is a must for growing digital economies.

🔎 How It Works

• Orca’s tech is built directly into payment flows. This allows it to make smart decisions on the fly without slowing down actual customers.

• The numbers. The platform already monitors over $5B in monthly volume across 70 countries for major banks and telcos.

📈 The Next Step

• The fresh capital will be used to deepen integrations with large enterprise clients and train their machine learning models on more data.

• Going global. They plan to scale their operations beyond Africa and into other high-growth areas where online transactions are becoming more prevalent.
