Agentic AI Automates Merchant Risk Infrastructure. Acquirers Stay in Control

Ballerine gives acquirers the tools to onboard, monitor, and assess merchants with precision without slowing down portfolio growth or exposing them to unnecessary compliance risk. Monitoring merchants is key to protecting acquiring banks from risk and compliance breaches, but can be hard to run at scale and speed - until now.

How Ballerine helps merchant acquirers
Reduce compliance risk without slowing growth

Traditional oversight models can’t keep up with high-velocity onboarding. Ballerine gives your team the coverage, visibility, and auditability needed to meet scheme obligations from day one.

Automated web and product risk detection

Legacy tools miss what matters. Ballerine uses AI to detect prohibited products, suspicious patterns, and transaction laundering risk even across hidden pages and redirects.

Certified monitoring and customized alerts

Be audit-ready, all the time. Ballerine helps acquirers qualify for scheme amnesty programs with persistent URL monitoring, policy mapping, and customized alerts for violations or risk changes.
