Steward Bank decided to deploy the new anti-fraud solution following the growth of its customers and transactions which reduced the bank’s capability to detect and block fraudulent attempts quickly.

Steward Bank CEO Lance Mambondiani said: “Digitisation opened up new channels for the bank and helped us grow.

“We needed a more effective and proactive system to monitor the subsequent increase in transactions and complexity of the bank to prevent fraud.

“We picked NetGuardians because it is a solution made specifically for banks and is proven to cut fraud across all channels.”
