Ballerine is an AI-powered merchant risk management platform that helps PSPs, banks, acquirers, PayFacs, fintechs, and marketplaces underwrite, onboard, monitor, and oversee merchants with less manual work. Its AI agents transform fragmented merchant data into real-time risk profiles so underwriters can focus on decisions instead of collecting information. It automates KYB and entity verification, UBO discovery, sanctions and adverse media screening, web analysis, MCC validation, ownership mapping, and compliance checks while keeping human review available for edge cases. During onboarding, Ballerine enriches submitted data with external signals such as reputation, reviews, regulatory mentions, ownership links, and traffic insights to build a 360-degree merchant view. Risk teams can configure workflows, approval steps, acceptance policies, alerts, and manual reviews around their own risk appetite.
