AI-driven fraud and transaction risk intelligence provider, Fraudio, has added Robert Kraal to its Board of Directors.
Kraal has a background in high-volume payment processing which aligns with Fraudio’s network-driven model.
Robert Kraal joins Fraudio
According to the company, Kraal’s strategic insight will guide the platform’s commercial growth, accelerating the network effect that makes its real-time AI fraud detection instantly smarter for connected acquirers, PSPs and processors.
He started his career at Bibit, an early global PSP later acquired by Worldpay, before driving expansion at Adyen and Silverflow.
João Moura, Founder and CEO, Fraudio commented: “Our whole model runs on the network effect, so our commercial growth relies on expanding our data footprint while bringing in the operational weight to scale.
“Having Robert join our board immediately accelerates our network’s momentum, making our real-time risk scoring sharper for every connected provider.
“Servicing partners at this level requires people who thoroughly understand how large-scale payment businesses function. Robert isn’t on our board for the show,” added Moura.
“Having an operator who ran acquiring at Adyen’s scale validates our technology, and proves that we are built by those who get their business.
“His guidance elevates our decision-making as we expand our network and build for where payment rails are heading, which is towards cloud-native, real-time and API-first.”
“Next phase of global growth”
“Throughout my career scaling global payments infrastructure, I’ve seen how traditional, rigid fraud rules struggle to handle modern distributed networks,” added Kraal.
“My decision to join the board is based on watching Fraudio perform against today’s fast-paced, evolving fraud landscape.
“The platform’s ability to turn interconnected data into real-time fraud prevention is exactly where the industry needs to go, and I look forward to helping the team navigate their next phase of global growth.”
