In digital lending, the riskiest applications do not always look risky in traditional credit data. Especially when the full journey happens online.

The early signals often sit outside the credit bureau layer:
in the device, connection, technical environment and user behavior.
In a recent anonymous case study with a South Asian digital lender, JuicyScore analyzed 150,000+ web-channel applications and built a custom ranking model using these digital signals.
The preliminary analysis showed 38.5% Added Gini and helped identify:
🔸 high-risk FPD segments
🔸 practical stop-markers for earlier filtering
🔸 lower-risk borrower groups that may support safer approval growth after validation

Risk signals should not only help lenders block bad applications.
They should also help approve good customers with more confidence.

India built one of the fastest payment systems in the world.
The RBI's latest proposal to fix UPI fraud: slow it down.

In his latest expert piece, Manish Thakwani (Head of Business Development, India & South Asia at JuicyScore) shares his perspective on where risk builds in the user journey, and what it takes to detect it earlier.

He notes that RBI's proposal is a response to a real and growing problem. But it also reveals a deeper assumption: that fraud can be stopped at the moment of transaction.

In practice, that's already too late.

By the time a payment is initiated, the risk has already formed.

The transaction is just where fraud becomes visible, not where it begins.

The earliest signals sit across telecom and behavioural layers. SIM swaps, device re-binding, number spoofing, abnormal communication patterns. These often precede fraudulent transactions by minutes or even hours.

Yet they're rarely connected to real-time payment decisioning.

In real systems, fraud prevention is adaptive:
🔸 risk is evaluated continuously
🔸 friction is applied selectively
🔸 monitoring extends across sessions, not just transactions

This is how you preserve speed for legitimate users while intervening where risk is actually present.

UPI fraud doesn’t start at the transaction. Learn why delays and controls are often too late, and how early signals across telecom, device, and behavior can improve fraud prevention.

Most anti-fraud systems today only analyze the finished transaction. But a growing number of attacks now happen before the transaction is even sent — directly inside the user’s browser.

Attackers are increasingly using DOM injections and client-side hijacking (Man-in-the-Browser attacks) to silently modify forms, intercept submit events, and alter critical data — all while the session looks perfectly legitimate to your backend, WAF, behavioral models, and even biometrics.

The result? Real users, clean device fingerprints, normal mouse movements — and stolen money.
In our new article, we explain:

• How classic XSS has evolved into stealthy DOM-based attacks
• Why behavioral anti-fraud, biometrics, and antivirus solutions often miss these threats
• Which browser APIs attackers exploit most effectively (submit, Storage, Canvas, sendBeacon and more)
• What actually works today: real-time DOM integrity monitoring and client-side Zero-Trust

If you rely on traditional anti-fraud tools, this blind spot is already being actively exploited — and the trend is accelerating.

Cut through the illusion of security.

Discover where your current defenses stop seeing the attack — and what you need to close this critical gap:

How modern hijacking has shifted from the server side to the user’s browser: the attack unfolds invisibly, in real time, leaving no traces in logs. And most importantly, why traditional anti-fraud fails to detect the problem—even when the user is legitimate.

The IRDAI Fraud Monitoring Framework is now in force (April 2026), setting new requirements for how insurers in India approach fraud detection and risk monitoring.

While the framework clearly defines governance, reporting, and responsibilities, it leaves a key question open: how to implement continuous fraud monitoring in practice. This is where many insurers face an ex*****on gap — especially when it comes to detecting cyber and “new age” fraud, moving beyond static Red Flag Indicators, and identifying patterns across digital interactions.

Solutions like JuicyScore, a device intelligence risk scoring solution, can support this transition by enabling real-time fraud detection, strengthening RFIs with dynamic signals, and improving visibility into suspicious behavior across channels.

When evaluating fraud detection solutions under IRDAI requirements, insurers should focus on continuous monitoring, real-time risk scoring, and the ability to detect environment-level anomalies — not just user data.

Device intelligence is becoming a system-level risk layer that connects events, behavior, and entities across the user journey.

At this level, it does not simply flag anomalies — it provides structure.

Treating risk as a set of individual or aggregated signals is limited. Such attributes can be ambiguous, reproducible, and do not always reflect intent.

When used as a system-level layer, device intelligence enables signals to be interpreted in context rather than in isolation — across sessions, accounts, and environments.

This is where device intelligence solutions differ in practice.

Solutions like JuicyScore focus not on isolated device attributes, but on how signals interact over time — combining device, behavioral, and network data into a structured view of risk.

In cases such as MoneyMan Mexico and ATM Online Vietnam, following JuicyScore integration, observed changes included:�– improved model separation after combining device and behavioral signals�– higher approval rates with stable risk metrics�– increased Gini and ROI through integrated signal analysis

These outcomes reflect a broader shift in fraud detection and risk scoring.

Modern device intelligence in fraud detection is not about detecting a single suspicious signal.�It is about understanding how signals behave, repeat, and relate to each other within a system.

This is what allows risk models to move from reacting to isolated events�→ to identifying patterns, connections, and coordinated activity.

For teams evaluating device intelligence solutions, the key question is no longer:�“Does this signal look suspicious?”
It is:�“How does this solution structure signals into a consistent, explainable risk context?”

JuicyScore is a device intelligence risk scoring solution designed around this principle — combining over 200+ non-PII signals into a system-level view of risk.

Value emerges from how signals interact, persist, and evolve over time — forming a system-level understanding of behavior.

Generative AI and large language models are increasingly discussed in the context of fraud prevention and risk management.

At the same time, it is important to distinguish where these technologies already deliver practical value and where their application remains limited by the requirements of real-world systems.

In our new article, we look at the current role of LLMs in fraud and risk management, including their strengths, limitations, and realistic use cases: https://juicyscore.ai/en/blog/llm-risk-management-antifraud-use-cases-limitations-en

Despite the hype surrounding LLMs, their application in risk management requires a measured and critical assessment. What are the real use cases, the key limitations, and the reasons why generative models cannot directly replace traditional fraud prevention approaches?

Brazil now operates one of the most advanced Open Finance ecosystems in the world.

More than 128 million active consents connect financial institutions through standardized APIs, enabling credit, payments, insurance, and embedded services to operate in real time.

But as interoperability expands, the nature of risk changes.

Open Finance does more than enable data sharing. It fundamentally reshapes where risk lives in the financial system.
Risk no longer sits inside the perimeter of a single institution.

It moves with the transaction – across APIs, devices, and institutional boundaries.

In a new expert article, José Edson Da Costa, National Director of Business Development – Brazil at JuicyScore, examines how risk architecture must evolve to support Open Finance at scale.

The article examines:
🔹 how interoperability expands the ex*****on layer where fraud can occur
🔹 why traditional perimeter-based risk models are no longer sufficient
🔹what resilient Open Finance infrastructure requires

Brazil’s first phase of digital finance was about access.
The next phase will be defined by resilience.

Digital lending is scaling faster than the data infrastructure it historically relied on.

Bureau depth is uneven. Thin-file segments are growing. Application flows are optimized for conversion, not data depth.

Personal data formally exists — but visibility at decision time is declining.

When data becomes structurally insufficient, tightening approvals protects short-term metrics while constraining growth.

The alternative is architectural.

Device intelligence adds an observability layer to credit risk assessment, using infrastructure and in-session signals available at entry.

In markets such as Southeast Asia and India, this is already standard practice: thin-file lending and high-velocity models depend on contextual visibility.

Managing approval rates in online lending is a balancing act between growth and risk.
Traditional data sources don’t scale: application forms are rigid, income questions reduce conversion, and self-reported information correlates poorly with real financial behavior. As a result, strong borrowers are often filtered out early, while scoring models operate under elevated uncertainty.

In our new article, we analyze which digital signals can meaningfully improve decision quality in this context: behavioral signals, device and infrastructure quality indices, performance parameters, and indirect income estimation.
We also show why the combined use of these signals delivers the strongest effect — improving approval accuracy without increasing user friction or relying on sensitive personal data.

Last week JuicyScore joined global leaders in Las Vegas for Money20/20 USA, the year’s key event in payments, lending, and risk innovation.

The opening Fraud Summit set the tone for the week, revealing how institutions are adapting to AI-driven fraud, tightening KYC requirements, and navigating growing regulatory complexity.

🎙️ Key voices from the stage:
– Maxim Spivakovsky (Galileo) underlined the need for transparency across all risk models: institutions should move away from “black box” solutions and focus on systems that are explainable, auditable, and adaptable to regulatory scrutiny.
– Max Levchin (Affirm) noted that the BNPL sector in the United States still lags behind global markets, but is poised for significant growth over the next few years as digital credit adoption accelerates.
– Lyanna Liu (SoFi) noted that no single data provider can address every fraud vector; resilience requires an adaptive, multi-layered approach
– Yuliya Kazakevich (Cash App) pointed to a rising BNPL risk where merchants and consumers may collude, creating fake transactions without actual delivery of goods or services.

Throughout the event, one challenge echoed repeatedly. As Vasily Hawking, Business Development Director for North America at JuicyScore, noted:
“AI was the top conversation across all sessions – deepfakes, synthetic identities, liveness checks. But it’s not something to fear when your systems are built to adapt.”

💡 Our takeaway: resilience now depends on adaptability, interoperability, and speed. JuicyScore’s device intelligence and behavioral analytics enable that – helping institutions connect risk, compliance, and trust in real time.
