About Forter
Forter provides a platform that combines fraud prevention, payment optimisation, and abuse prevention for online businesses. It sells to merchants, payment service providers, and partners such as system integrators and cloud providers. The platform uses artificial intelligence and a network of over two billion identities to recognise customers and stop fraud and abuse. It aims to increase approval rates and reduce chargebacks while lowering friction for legitimate shoppers. The company offers a set of AI agents that automate tasks like analytics, payment routing, dispute management, and policy creation. Forter also provides agentic orchestration to support AI-powered shopping agents. Its patented decision AI analyses identity, behavioural, device, and payment signals in real time. The platform works across cards, wallets, buy now pay later, ACH, gift cards, and other payment methods.
