## Why it matters
Embedding real-time fraud and AML decisioning into payment integration can affect how financial institutions secure instant and European payment flows. This is a first-party partnership announcement, not evidence of a completed customer deployment or measured fraud reduction. Feedzai's claims of more than USD 9 trillion in protected annual payment volume and more than one billion consumers describe its broader network, not results from this partnership; pricing, customers, implementation dates, false-positive rates and supported-country coverage are not disclosed.
