How it works

One bank sees it.
Every connected bank learns.

Raw customer data stays inside each institution. Fraud intelligence moves across the network. Alerra never holds a bank’s customer database — it connects what institutions have each already concluded.

01
Detect

Bank A detects a suspicious signal

A customer attempts a $48,000 transfer to a beneficiary created days earlier. Bank A’s own fraud engine scores it, and the score is not high enough to stop a payment on its own.

02
Publish

The gateway publishes a fraud intelligence object

Bank A’s Alerra Gateway derives a narrow, privacy-preserving object and publishes that. The customer, the account and the transaction history never leave the bank — only this does.

Illustrative object. Entity tokens are pseudonymous identifiers, not customer or account identifiers.

03
Connect

Alerra finds what others already saw

None of these institutions knew about the others. Each held one fragment, none of them conclusive on its own.

04
Assess

The same payment, re-scored

Nothing about the transaction changed. What changed is how much context existed to judge it against.

What one institution sees
0
Bank A’s own local risk score. Below its intervention threshold, so the payment proceeds.
What the network knows
0
Network risk, with evidence from three other institutions attached. Above threshold, with reasons attached.

Learn

The outcome becomes evidence

Bank A confirms the scam. That confirmation is the most valuable signal in the system, because an outcome is a fact rather than an inference — and every connected institution has it immediately.

The loop, running.

The same cycle, on synthetic data, continuously. Every node is an entity some demo institution has observed; every link is an observed relationship.

Every score, itemised.

A score a bank cannot interrogate is a score a bank cannot act on. Pick any synthetic entity and read exactly where its risk came from.
