Akurateco Strengthens LATAM Offering With PIX Antifraud Protection Powered by Fraudio
Akurateco, a global provider of white-label payment infrastructure, announced the availability of PIX antifraud capabilities on its platform, powered by its technology partner Fraudio. The integration enables acquiring banks, PSPs, and enterprise merchants operating in Brazil to protect PIX transactions with AI-driven fraud detection without leaving the Akurateco environment.
PIX has become Brazil’s dominant payment method, processing billions of transactions annually. Yet its speed and scale have made it an increasingly attractive target for fraudsters, with fraud losses through the system reaching R$2.7 billion in recent years. Akurateco’s integration with Fraudio addresses this directly, bringing real-time fraud scoring and transaction monitoring to PIX flows within its orchestration layer.
“PIX has redefined how payments move in Brazil, but speed without security is a vulnerability, not an advantage. By bringing Fraudio’s antifraud intelligence into our platform, we’re giving our clients operating in LATAM the tools to grow confidently in one of the world’s most dynamic payment markets. Fraud protection isn’t a feature, it’s infrastructure,” said Andrew Riabchuk, Founder and CTO at Akurateco.
The announcement reflects Akurateco’s broader push into Latin America, a region the company has identified as a key growth market. Brazil’s regulatory environment around PIX fraud prevention has been evolving rapidly, with the Central Bank of Brazil introducing mandatory antifraud protocols and expanded dispute mechanisms throughout 2025. Akurateco’s clients can now meet these requirements through a single, integrated platform.
“[For nearly five years, our partnership with Akurateco has been instrumental in delivering AI-powered fraud prevention to customers around the world. Their platform sets the standard for what true collaboration in payments should look like, and extending that work to cover Pix transactions allows us to bring unique value to one of the fastest-growing payment rails in the world.],” said [Gadi, [VP product] at Fraudio.
Fraudio’s technology: Powered by a centralised, network-driven dataset spanning issuers, acquirers and the payment vehicles they process, Fraudio delivers real-time contextual analysis across transactions, merchants, cards and related entities. This allows clients to identify hidden patterns and emerging threats that would be impossible to detect within a single portfolio.
Akurateco and Fraudio will be pursuing joint go-to-market activities across Latin America, targeting the region’s fast-growing base of digital payment operators.
