Released as an additional product suite to the company’s innovative Anti-Money-Laundering (AML) platform, FOCAL, Anti-Fraud product was announced at Saudi Arabia’s LEAP 2023 tech conference at Riyadh Front Expo Centre.

The innovative new product automatically selects the best next action based on their assessed legitimacy, thereby minimizing impact for the customers of financial institutions. To date, FOCAL has been able to successfully complete more than 1 billion security and identity checks for its clients, detect hundreds of millions in Saudi Riyals worth of fraud and money laundering crimes in Saudi Arabia, in the past few months only. FOCAL has also been able to monitor more than 3 Million customers and SAR 8 Billion worth of transactions – providing financial institutions the ease of mind needed to grow and innovate and secure digital finance for humanity.
FOCAL Anti-Fraud’s sophisticated design means it can expose fraudulent activity through the application of deep AI network analysis to identify devices, Geo/IP addresses, and other attributes commonly used in the detection of criminal activity. The platform’s reporting system instantly flags suspicious activity and integrates it into the Fraud Score to strengthen ongoing protections.
“Banks, fintech providers, insurance companies and brokers, and indeed any industry that finds itself in the crosshairs of fraudsters will welcome the announcement of FOCAL Anti-Fraud,” said Dr. Mohammed Alhussein, Founder and CEO of Mozn. “At Mozn, we not only address the challenges of today; we look out for what is ahead to ensure that the hurdles of this year and the next are no barrier to economic innovators both inside the kingdom and across the region.
