Yverdon, Vaud, Switzerland, Nov. 17, 2025—Vyntra, a global leader in transaction intelligence, has launched its Payment App Protection, a new solution designed to stop money mule activity and payment fraud in real time. The launch comes as mobile payment applications increasingly become a channel for illicit activity, from peer-to-peer scams and fake goods listings to account takeovers and social engineering attacks.

Vyntra’s Payment App Protection delivers an advanced approach to fraud detection across mobile payment ecosystems. It combines customer data, transaction behaviour and network provided risk scores to detect fraud with greater speed and accuracy. The system allows immediate pre-authorisation checks, dynamically blocking rogue payees, fake merchants and money mules before funds are released, while maintaining full control for the bank or payment provider.

The rise of secondhand marketplaces and instant money transfers has created new vulnerabilities for financial institutions and consumers. Limited regulatory oversight and weaker consumer protections and monitoring have made payment apps a prime target for criminals. Vyntra’s solution addresses these challenges head on by offering real time visibility into risky transaction patterns and by leveraging collective intelligence across the financial network. Its Community Scoring & Intelligence feature allows banks to benefit instantly from fraud detections made elsewhere in the ecosystem, strengthening defenses industry wide.

By preventing mule activity and isolating accounts involved in rinsing schemes, Vyntra helps financial institutions reduce reputational risk, helping to streamline investigation workloads while protecting customers from sophisticated scams. The technology also detects and mitigates threats such as device enrollment compromise, advance goods scams and phony QR-code fraud.

Yoann Vandendriessche, Chief Product Officer comments on the launch, “Payment apps have become one of the fastest growing channels for financial crime and with Payment App Protection, we can help banks and payment providers to act instantly against emerging fraud threats, allowing them to share intelligence securely and deliver safer and more trusted digital experiences to their customers.”

Vyntra is a global leader in transaction intelligence, formed from the union of NetGuardians and Intix. Combining deep expertise in financial crime prevention and analytics, Vyntra equips over 130 financial institutions in more than 60 countries with intelligent tools to detect fraud, ensure AML compliance, and gain real time visibility into every transaction.
