Thanks to its impressive industry expertise, 4Stop, a leading fraud prevention provider, solves businesses riskbased approach through a modern, all-in-one KYB, KYC, compliance and anti-fraud solution at an international level. To celebrate the firm’s win in this year’s competitive FinTech Awards we profile it and share an insight into the innovative solutions it has to offer, speaking with members of the senior team to understand the true value of this exceptional solution.

Since its inception in 2016, 4Stop has onboarded various clients within its target markets of Payment Service Providers, Payment Gateways, eMobile payments, eCommerce, eWallets, and Cryptocurrency.

As all the founders of the company have collectively over 60 years of experience within the risk management realm, they understand the need for a simple, fail-safe, future-proof solution that businesses can effortlessly manage their risk requirements and more importantly with absolute confidence. When they first started their firm, their focus and challenges were to establish a product to resolve the cumbersome processes surrounding KYB, KYC, compliance and fraud prevention globally.

This drive led 4Stop to develop an all-in-one solution encompassing global data aggregation that resulted in a full suite of KYB and KYC data sources, and their proprietary risk management tools paired with automation and integrated analytics, all from a single AP. Removing the market pain point of multiple integrations and patchworked solutions to fully address risk management requirements.

Thanks to this unique technology, the firm now allows its diverse range of clients to easily perform required validation, verification and authentication at the point of onboarding through to transactional processing, both at the merchant and merchant consumer level.

Over the past three years the adoption and usability of the 4Stop solution have been well received. By encompassing a complete end-to-end solution for KYB, KYC, compliance and fraud prevention, 4Stop allows businesses to enjoy a single-view-ofrisk and it has already been proven to dramatically improve their overall performance and bottom line.

Businesses that have utilised 4Stop’s anti-fraud technology experience a 66.6% reduction in chargebacks in the first 2 months with an average of 81.5% approval authorisation rate. Additionally, businesses that have implemented the cascading KYC verification technology, have seen a growth of 10.9% in savings within the first two months.

4Stop’s revolutionary KYB solution is now leading the industry by performing granular business underwriting in near real-time with comprehensive data analysis surrounding business’ online presence, operational performance, structure. Comprehensive data analysis surrounding the business’ online presence, operational performance, structure, and compliance adherence. Enhanced by additional KYC due-diligence performed on directors/ UBO’s and required document retreival, businesses obtain all the data and documentation they require to confidently onboard businesses.

It is this unique solution that has driven 4Stop to win one of the 2019 FinTech Awards from Wealth & Finance International Magazine. Ingo Ernst, CEO of 4Stop, comments on the firm’s success in this award’s programme and how it is the direct result of the firm’s expert team’s hard work and dedication to excellence.

“This award is another great milestone for 4Stop. Our ever-changing online landscape demands innovation and for everyone at 4Stop, our focus is driving our technology advancements as an equalized force across all aspects of our product offering.

Improving businesses authorisation rates, dramatically reducing chargebacks and accelerating their performance, the Businesses all-in-one solution provides everything required to manage risk from a single API.

Whilst its fully integrated solution is revolutionary in the FinTech market it enables 4Stop to overcome the KYC industry issue of managing so much data safely and effectively. The firm is constantly seeking to enhance this product for the benefit of its clients across the financial and business markets. 4Stops’s continued technological investment is based on a few variables within the market landscape.

“4Stop has been designed to be future-proofed from a single API for our clients to manage KYB, KYC, compliance and anti-fraud technology on a global scale. It is our continued responsibility that the product does just that. Expanding our fraud technology and data aggregation accordingly to stay relevant to the rapid evolution of online payments and engagement.” States Brian Daly, Head of Product Implementation and Innovation, 4Stop.

At the point of inception 4Stop launched with a full suite of KYC data sources and their proprietary anti-fraud technology that encompasses a multi-faceted automated risk rules engine with cascading rule performance and automated system actions, alongside a dashboard with realtime intelligence and multiple reporting widgets. In early 2019 4Stop launched its global end-to-end KYB solution. Seeking to build upon its current success, moving forward 4Stop will continue to aggregate data and expand its KYB and KYC solution, in conjunction with furthering its features available such as machine learning to support the anti-fraud and risk monitoring technology. The firm has also recently completed a German-based €2.5 €Million Series A Round Investment from Ventech, the leading pan-European VC fund investing in early-stage tech-driven start-ups. This financing will help the company to expand its solution and drive real change in the market.

Ultimately, 4Stop is a global product with clients worldwide. In the coming years, the business has established a focused acquisition plan specific to regions and markets within Europe, Asia and the United States. These developments will drive the company to even greater global recognition and truly prove it as a pioneer in the risk management technology space. As many companies seek a single provider to manage all parts of their risk management cycle, 4Stop will become a key part of the payment’s ecosystem and the central aggregation hub in the eco-system.
