Why MansaGuard

Fraud losses happen in the gap between event and decision

How It Works

Mobile Money and fintech fraud is operational, local and fast-moving. MansaGuard turns transaction, device, user and velocity signals into decisions your team can act on before settlement.

Withdrawal fraud moves fast

Fraudsters exploit the gap between payment confirmation, wallet crediting and payout. MansaGuard scores the event before funds leave.

Static rules get noisy

Risk teams maintain brittle rules across spreadsheets, logs and support tools. MansaGuard keeps rules configurable, explainable and tenant-scoped.

Local signals are missed

SIM-swap risk, shared devices, bonus abuse and wallet velocity patterns often appear before the transaction, but only if signals are connected.

Decision Engine

A decision layer your risk team can explain

MansaGuard does more than flag suspicious activity. It returns the decision, the score, the reasons and the evidence needed to review or block a risky flow.

ALLOW, REVIEW or BLOCK

Each login, account event, transfer or withdrawal gets a clear decision while the client flow is still controllable.

Explainable reasons

Triggered rules, weights and evidence are visible for each decision so risk teams can trust and audit the outcome.

Guided review queue

Uncertain cases move into a tenant-scoped queue with score, status, analyst comments and the context needed to act fast.

Auditable operations

Decision history, API keys, webhook deliveries, team actions and settings changes are traceable by tenant.

Security & Compliance

Security controls for fintech-grade integrations

API keys, signed requests, tenant isolation and audit trails keep fraud decisions operationally safe without forcing a platform rebuild.

HMAC signatures on every request

Replay protection and rate limiting by tenant

Tenant isolation for client workspaces and API keys

Audit logs for decisions, settings and sensitive actions

Webhook delivery logs for operational traceability

API workflow

Add fraud decisions without rebuilding your transaction stack

Put MansaGuard between sensitive events and final execution. Your backend sends a compact risk event, receives an explainable decision, then continues the customer journey with the right guardrail.
