Plumery integrates SEON for fraud prevention

By Milan Rojan

Plumery has partnered with fraud prevention specialist SEON to integrate device intelligence capabilities into its digital banking development platform, enabling financial institutions to detect fraudulent activity earlier during customer onboarding.

Ben Goldin, CEO and Co-founder of Plumery, said: “Digital banks shouldn’t have to choose between great customer experience and strong protection. By integrating SEON’s digital footprint analysis capabilities into our platform, we are giving customers a faster and more secure way to launch banking experiences without compromising on security.”

The integration has enabled Plumery’s business customers to access SEON’s device intelligence technology across the platform’s mobile and web applications. The solution analyses device characteristics, digital footprint signals and behavioural patterns to identify potentially fraudulent activity while maintaining a seamless experience for legitimate users.

According to the companies, the integration has helped banks strengthen fraud prevention at the account creation stage, where many digital banking attacks originate. SEON said its device-based intelligence can reduce fraudulent sign-ups by up to 96%, helping financial institutions identify suspicious behaviour before accounts are created.

Dan Webb, Vice President of Partnerships at SEON, said: “Most fraud in digital banking starts at account creation, and by the time a bank detects it, the damage is already done. Device intelligence catches it at the front door.”

The partnership has come as financial institutions face increasing levels of digital fraud. Citing findings from KPMG’s Global Banking Scam Survey, the companies said 60% of banks reported an increase in scam-related customer complaints in 2025, driven by authorised push payment fraud, impersonation scams and other forms of financial crime. As fraudsters increasingly use automation, stolen credentials and AI-enabled techniques, banks are seeking to detect high-risk activity earlier in the customer journey.

The integration is available immediately to all Plumery customers using the company’s mobile and web banking platforms, allowing digital banks to add fraud detection capabilities without developing the technology independently.
