Legatus: command the fight against fraud

An omnichannel platform for real-time financial crime prevention, built for banks, switch operators and regulated financial infrastructures. Developed by IBS and powered by IBM Safer Payments.

What Legatus does for you

  • Stops fraud

    Fraudulent activity is detected and blocked in real time, before the transaction completes.

  • Lowers false positives

    AI models and rules work together, so your analysts spend their time on real cases.

  • Protects the customer experience

    Genuine customers pay without friction and stay protected.

  • Supports compliance

    Regulatory and audit expectations are met with transparency and control.

  • Keeps cost of ownership lean

    A modular design lets you start with what you need and add modules later.

One platform, several layers of defence

Legatus combines core fraud management with device intelligence. Behavioural, transactional and contextual data come together in one view of risk, so both account-based and device-based anomalies are caught.

  • Legatus Core. Real-time scoring and adaptive logic, powered by IBM Safer Payments.
  • Legatus WatchTower. Device intelligence: signals for digital identity, device fingerprinting and session risk.
  • Legatus Bridge. The integration layer that connects fraud detection with external systems, data sources and case management tools.

Experience built in

Legatus carries what we have learned from fraud prevention projects across Europe, the Middle East and Africa: integrations, models and operating procedures that are ready to run and can be adapted to your environment and regulatory framework.

Our team implements the platform with you and stays afterwards, with fraud analysis and managed services. See our financial crime prevention services.
