Overview

Project Overview

For a global commercial trading network processing over $400M in annual B2B transactions, legacy payment processors charged exorbitant forex fees and lacked automated invoice split-settlement capabilities. Ctas Info Services built a custom FinTech payment orchestration platform with biometric AI anomaly detection, multi-tenant merchant ledgers, and direct banking integration—reducing chargebacks by 99.8% while providing instant settlement.

Client Context

A major commercial payment network providing trade finance to international merchants.

Processed over $420M in annual transaction volume with 99.999% gateway availability

99.8% reduction in fraudulent chargebacks via real-time biometric and behavioral risk scoring

Instant merchant ledger reconciliation reducing payout cycle times from 5 days to real time

Challenges

Key Challenges

Obstacles we identified and addressed during the project.

  • 1Ensuring strict PCI-DSS Level 1 compliance with end-to-end HSM tokenization
  • 2Executing real-time machine learning fraud evaluation without delaying transaction authorization
  • 3Automating multi-party invoice split-settlements and forex conversion across 35+ fiat currencies
Solutions

Our Solutions

Technical and strategic approaches that resolved each challenge.

  • Built an isolated PCI tokenization vault separating cardholder data from application logic
  • Deployed PyTorch real-time risk evaluation models scoring transactions against 80+ fraud vectors in <150ms
  • Integrated automated ACH, SEPA, and SWIFT banking APIs for same-day merchant ledger settlement
