You see, real-time transaction monitoring is the cornerstone of payment fraud prevention. But let’s face it—scaling it has always been a challenge. That’s where CrateDB changes everything.
With its SQL-native design, CrateDB fits seamlessly into today’s operational systems—systems that are overwhelmingly SQL-based. It doesn’t stop there. CrateDB brings document flexibility, so it handles all kinds of data—structured or not—with ease.
Banks and financial institutions using CrateDB are transforming the way they work.
But here’s the real breakthrough: CrateDB powers AI and generative AI to not just detect fraud—it learns in real-time, evolves, and gets smarter with every interaction.
The result?
Let’s keep this simple. Fraud prevention is a mess right now, and here’s why.
Now, here’s the technical stuff:
Here’s the point: the current approach is broken because it’s built on outdated ideas. The fix isn’t complicated—it’s about designing systems that work with today’s data, today’s threats, and today’s tools. Once you see it, it’s obvious. Let’s start there.
Let me explain how CrateDB tackles fraud prevention in a way that’s both powerful and straightforward.
CrateDB lets fraud detection teams stick with what they already know—SQL. You don’t need to learn a new system or language. For example, if you want to flag large, unusual transactions, here’s all it takes:
It’s simple, clear, and familiar, but it does a lot of heavy lifting.
CrateDB isn’t just about rules—it’s about possibilities. It works seamlessly with AI and machine learning platforms, integrating your predictive models, machine learning, and even generative AI. With powerful text-search and vector search, you can sift through domain-specific data like never before, training smarter models and creating prompts that make LLMs truly relevant.
The result? Fewer false positives, sharper fraud detection, and customer messaging so tailored, it feels personal. This isn’t just innovation, it’s transformation.
Fraud doesn’t wait, and neither does CrateDB. It’s built to process log and event data in real time, catching fraud the moment it happens. Take hybrid search, for example—sanctions and AML checks are faster than ever. Simple. Powerful. Effective. And with AI inferences activated in real time at millisecond latency, you’re not just keeping up—you’re staying ahead.
The result? No more guessing. Just precise, insightful fraud detection powered by a complete perspective. It’s not just better—it’s smarter.
Real-time Intelligent Fraud Prevention at Scale
Here are a few more reasons why CrateDB is the game-changer for building a sophisticated, real-time, event-driven fraud prevention and transaction monitoring system.
CrateDB isn’t just about collecting data—it’s about connecting it. With powerful data federation and rich connectors, it brings together diverse datasets—transactions, behaviors, locations—into one seamless, unified view. And it’s all possible thanks to its schema and document flexibility, which let you adapt to any data structure effortlessly.
Let’s simplify this. CrateDB gives banks and financial institutions the tools they need to build smarter fraud detection systems by combining geospatial and time-series analysis.
Using these powerful features, banks can build systems that don’t just detect fraud—they understand it. CrateDB makes it easy to catch fraud by letting you combine where and when things happen, all in one solution.
Payment rails come in all shapes and standards—ISO 20022, PSD2, and more. From structured data and JSON logs to IoT streams, time series, and even advanced AI-ready formats like vectors, it’s a messy world. But CrateDB makes it seamless. Designed as a multi-model database, it effortlessly handles diverse data types, unifying and analyzing them across systems for precise fraud detection, all within a secure environment.
Big data? That’s not a problem, it’s an opportunity. CrateDB is built for scale, designed to handle massive volumes of transactional data with ease. It processes data quickly, reliably, and without breaking a sweat, so when your volumes grow, your performance doesn’t falter. With CrateDB, big data isn’t just manageable, it’s your advantage.
Fraud prevention systems need a rethink, and CrateDB is here to help build them. Scaling real-time transaction monitoring has always been a challenge, but CrateDB empowers banks and financial institutions to create unified, SQL-native platforms that handle diverse data effortlessly. With its schema, document flexibility and AI integration, CrateDB supports systems that evolve with patterns, detect threats faster, and provide actionable insights.
CrateDB isn’t the fraud solution—it’s the foundation for building smarter, faster, and scalable fraud prevention systems that keep institutions ahead of the game.
