St. Petersburg, Fla. (April 16, 2025)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Juniper Payments<\/a>, a\u00a0Velera<\/a>\u00a0company,\u00a0today announced a powerful new addition to its Payments Hub: an embedded artificial intelligence (AI)-driven fraud prevention engine built to \"\"meet the needs of modern financial institutions and encourage broader adoption of instant payments. The announcement was made in conjunction with VeleraLIVE, taking place this week in Denver, Colo.<\/p>\n

As the largest cloud-based, non-bank third-party provider of interbank transaction and reporting systems in the U.S., Juniper Payments is taking a proactive stance against increasingly sophisticated fraud schemes by integrating cutting-edge AI and machine learning (ML) capabilities directly into its platform.<\/p>\n

This new enhancement delivers real-time fraud detection at the point of origination and processing, empowering financial institutions to confidently expand beyond receive-only status and activate send functionality for instant payment rails like FedNow\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0and RTP\u00ae<\/sup>. Additionally, it adds risk-scoring capabilities across traditional payments, including wires and, ultimately, ACH and cross-border payments.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fraud landscape is rapidly evolving, with bad actors leveraging automation, generative AI, synthetic identities and phishing schemes at scale,\u201d said Jon Budd, CEO of Juniper Payments. \u201cTraditional defenses won\u2019t keep up. With our embedded AI fraud engine, we\u2019re enabling real-time detection and decisioning, giving financial institutions the confidence to not only protect their assets, but to fully participate in the next generation of faster and instant payments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Juniper\u2019s Payments Hub streamlines a full spectrum of payments operations, including origination, beneficiary account validation, risk management, reporting and processing, by managing the rails for automated payment delivery and receipt via Juniper Payments-connected rails to the Federal Reserve, The Clearing House and FX gateways \u2013 all within one online platform. The system reduces operational friction, accelerates transaction posting, enhances transparency and improves funds availability, providing more predictive cash flow for both consumers and businesses.<\/p>\n

The addition of AI-powered fraud tools enhances both accuracy and adaptability. By analyzing large volumes of transactional and behavioral data in real time, the platform can detect subtle patterns that indicate fraudulent activity while minimizing false positives. The result is faster decisions, better protection and smarter automation that evolves alongside emerging threats.<\/p>\n

A case study[1]\u00a0utilizing these fraud tools saw the following results:<\/p>\n
