Payments are now real time by default

Instant authorization, real-time settlement, and embedded finance are eliminating batch windows. Every transaction must be scored, reconciled, and recorded in milliseconds. Systems built for overnight processing create operational friction and unnecessary exposure.

Fraud sophistication is accelerating

Fraud networks now operate with automation and AI. Static rules and delayed analytics increase false positives or allow losses to clear. Risk models must reason over live behavioral context, not stale snapshots.

Embedded finance is expanding the surface area

Payments and credit are no longer confined to banks. Platforms, marketplaces, and SaaS providers are embedding financial services into their flows. That growth multiplies data volume, concurrency, and compliance complexity.

Regulatory scrutiny is continuous

KYC, AML, and audit requirements demand transparent, traceable data across transactions and customer interactions. Fragmented systems create reconciliation gaps and increase operational overhead.

Why current architectures struggle - and what modern platforms must deliver

Fraud scoring falls behind transaction velocity

When transaction data moves between systems before being analyzed, risk models operate on delayed context, increasing fraud exposure and false declines.

 

What’s needed: 

Millisecond data availability from event creation to model scoring without cross-system movement or replication.


Payment spikes overwhelm core systems

Peak traffic events and merchant promotions create extreme concurrency. Legacy systems degrade under load, slowing authorization and harming merchant relationships.

 

What’s needed: 

Linear scale with predictable performance under thousands or millions of concurrent transactions and analytical queries.


Reporting affected by batch pipelines

Risk, treasury, and compliance teams rely on overnight feeds, delaying liquidity visibility and regulatory reporting. This slows decisions and increases capital inefficiency.

 

What’s needed: 

Operational and analytical processing on the same live dataset without separate reporting stores.


AI pilots stall in production

Fraud models and customer copilots often run on copied or sampled data, limiting reliability and governance. This limits enterprise deployments.

 

What’s needed: 

A unified, AI-ready foundation where structured, semi-structured, and vector data coexist under consistent governance.


Data duplication increases compliance risk

Multiple data copies across fraud engines, warehouses, and lakes create reconciliation challenges and audit complexity.

 

What’s needed: 

Centralized, governed data access with transactional correctness and fine-grained security controls.


The performance engine for real-time fintech and payments

Unified transactions and analytics

Process payments, run fraud analytics, and power dashboards on the same live dataset, eliminating latency between operational events and insight.

Real-time ingest with instant queryability

Score transactions and update balances in milliseconds from event creation, reducing fraud exposure and improving customer experience.

High concurrency without performance degradation

Support thousands of merchants, customers, and AI agents simultaneously while maintaining consistent low-latency responses.

ACID-compliant at distributed scale

Guarantee financial-grade transactional integrity across nodes, ensuring payments, ledgers, and settlements remain accurate and auditable.

AI-ready data foundation

Run machine learning models and vector search directly on live operational data, enabling in-line fraud scoring and intelligent automation.

Built-in governance and security controls

Maintain role-based access, auditability, and data isolation without duplicating data across multiple systems.

What you can build with SingleStore

Real-time fraud prevention

Fraud detection must happen within the authorization window. Traditional pipelines introduce delay between event capture and scoring. A unified, real-time engine evaluates behavioral signals, historical patterns, and model outputs instantly, reducing fraud loss while lowering false positives that frustrate legitimate customers.

Instant payment authorization

Payment processors and digital banks must approve or decline transactions in milliseconds under peak load. Systems that separate transaction capture from analytics struggle to maintain consistent latency. Unified processing enables reliable authorization, even during traffic spikes, preserving merchant trust and customer satisfaction.

Embedded finance & instant credit

Digital banks and fintech apps compete on experience. Fragmented customer data prevents consistent, contextual engagement. A unified data engine continuously updates behavioral and transactional context, enabling relevant offers, alerts, and financial insights during active sessions.

Live liquidity & treasury visibility

Treasury teams need continuous insight into cash positions and settlement flows. When reporting depends on delayed feeds, capital buffers remain higher than necessary. Real-time operational reporting provides up-to-the-minute liquidity visibility across payment rails and accounts.

Customer 360 & personalization

Digital banks and fintech apps compete on experience. Fragmented customer data prevents consistent, contextual engagement. A unified data engine continuously updates behavioral and transactional context, enabling relevant offers, alerts, and financial insights during active sessions.

Areeba

Unified fraud, AML & real-time insights

Areeba is a financial services innovator spun out of Bank Audi that now supports multiple banks across the Middle East and Africa as a payment gateway and loyalty program partner. Facing growing demands for real-time fraud detection, anti-money-laundering (AML) compliance, and personalised customer experiences, Areeba chose SingleStore for its ability to provide fast operational analytics on continuously updated data — a leap beyond legacy batch processing and relational systems.

Key impact and outcomes:

  • Scales operational analysis across hundreds of millions of authorizations spanning years of payments data.

  • Handles Areeba’s largest table (~100 GB) with both memory and disk storage for performance.

  • Supports combined fraud detection and AML workflows with Apache Spark, improving responsiveness over traditional systems.

  • Enables future real-time decisioning to catch illicit activity and personalise offers as transactions occur.

“SingleStore is helping Areeba cover all our operational analytical needs.” - Elie Soukayem, Director of Data and Analytics at Areeba
