About Archer Protect
Archer Protect builds fraud and anti-money-laundering (AML) software for payment companies, lenders, crypto companies, and other fintechs in emerging markets. It helps them catch fraud and meet their AML obligations.
Rules, case management, analytics, and reporting sit in one system that your compliance team runs itself. You change a rule without an engineering ticket, and tune out false alarms without a data scientist.
Archer Protect, Inc. is a US company, founded in 2023 by Zach Bijesse (CEO) and Francisco Rubin Capalbo (CTO).
Why manual transaction monitoring stops working
At many fintechs, transaction monitoring is still a person reading exports, spreadsheets, or one email per payment. That works while volumes are small.
Then the business grows, and the only way to keep up is to hire more reviewers. That doesn't scale.
Where rules do exist, the compliance team often can't change them. Every threshold change becomes an engineering ticket that waits weeks or months behind product work.
Archer lets the people who own the risk see it, act on it, and change the rules themselves.
Fraud and AML in one system
Archer covers both. For fraud, it watches how each customer behaves, opens a case when something looks wrong, and can tell your system to hold a transfer or freeze an account.
For AML, it monitors transactions for signs of money laundering and screens customers against sanctions and PEP lists. Both use the same customer data and the same case queue.
-
Cases
One queue where analysts review alerts and record each decision.
-
Rules
Your team writes and changes them, and can test them on your past data before they go live.
-
Screening
Checks your customers against sanctions and PEP lists.
-
Connected customers
Shows which customers are linked to each other, so a group shows up as a group.
-
Reports and analytics
In the same dashboard as your cases.
-
AI assistant
Built into that same dashboard.
Where Archer starts and stops
- At signup
Your identity provider
Checks IDs and selfies when a customer signs up. Archer doesn't do identity verification, so keep the provider you have.
- From then on
Archer
Receives each signup with any personal data you send, such as ID numbers, then watches the customer's logins, transactions, and account changes.
