Fintech, banking and payment teams seeking device, transaction and operational context across several risk workflows.
How the product works
Sardine brings device and behavior observations into a broader platform for financial risk. Its payment product describes coverage across cards, bank transfers, instant payments and wallets, with configurable workflows and investigation tools. The platform also offers identity and AML-related modules.
From evidence to a decision
The payment rail matters. An order that can be held before shipment and an instant transfer need different response windows. Map the proposed checks to the actual point at which funds move, then identify which team can hold, review, release or recover the transaction.
What to confirm before buying
A broad portfolio needs careful module selection. Coverage of one payment rail or identity workflow does not establish the same data access, timing or liability treatment for another. Obtain a proposal and integration design for the specific products you need.
A useful first pilot
Choose one payment journey and trace the device session, account, payment and final outcome together. Test the response deadline, failed collection and a review escalation. Ask how labels and reason codes remain available when the workflow changes.
Strengths to evaluate
- Device and behavioral context alongside payments
- Multiple payment-rail use cases
- Rules, investigations and case workflows

FAQ
Does a payment-risk product replace identity verification?
The tasks differ. Confirm whether the selected Sardine modules include identity verification and which checks your onboarding flow requires.
What should be in the pricing proposal?
List the modules, payment rails, volume, support and workflow requirements rather than assuming one platform-wide unit.
