Our Mission

Our mission is to help organisations make safer, smarter, and more trusted decisions in an increasingly digital world.

As fraud becomes more sophisticated and digital identities become easier to create, organisations need new ways to assess trust before exposure occurs. We help lenders, credit bureaus, fintechs, and digital platforms detect fraud, assess risk, and unlock growth with confidence.

AdviceRobo in the media

Our research on online fraud and digital identity risk has been featured across leading media and industry publications.

The coverage highlights a clear shift: fraud is no longer only about fake documents. It is increasingly driven by sophisticated digital identities, fake online stores, temporary contact details, and connected fraud networks.

Our story

AdviceRobo was founded in 2015 with a vision to improve decision-making through behavioural science, data, and AI.

Over the years, we have seen how digital transformation has changed the nature of risk. Traditional verification and historical data are no longer enough. Synthetic identities, fraud networks, mule accounts, and increasingly sophisticated digital fraud require a new approach.

Today, AdviceRobo combines identity intelligence, behavioural intelligence, and network intelligence to help organisations answer a critical question:

Can this identity be trusted?

Our Trust Intelligence platform helps organisations detect fraud earlier, improve onboarding decisions, reduce losses, and create trusted digital experiences.

In 2025 alone, AdviceRobo’s Trust Intelligence layer supported more than 10 million consumers and 1 million SMEs, improved acceptance rates by up to 30%, and helped enable over $4.5 billion in credit access across 13 countries.

As digital ecosystems continue to evolve, we remain committed to building technology that helps organisations make safer, smarter, and more trusted decisions at scale.
