Riskified (NYSE:RSKD) is a technology company specializing in e-commerce fraud prevention and revenue optimization for online merchants. Its platform combines machine learning, behavioral analytics and proprietary risk models to assess the legitimacy of transactions in real time. By offering a chargeback guarantee, Riskified assumes the financial liability for approved orders that later turn out to be fraudulent, allowing retailers to focus on growth rather than dispute management.
The company’s core product suite addresses various aspects of the online shopping lifecycle, including order approval, account takeover protection and policy compliance. Riskified’s solutions integrate with major e-commerce platforms and payment gateways to provide seamless fraud screening without adding friction for legitimate customers. Through data aggregation and continuous model refinement, the company seeks to reduce false declines and improve overall conversion rates.
Founded in 2013 by Eido Gal and Saar Wilf, Riskified launched its services to help retailers navigate the complexities of cross-border sales and evolving fraud patterns. Over the years, it has expanded its global footprint with offices in New York, Tel Aviv, London and Singapore, serving a broad client base across North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. In July 2021, Riskified completed its initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker RSKD.
Under the leadership of CEO Eido Gal, Riskified continues to invest in research and development to address emerging threats such as synthetic identity fraud and chargeback abuse. The company’s executive team includes seasoned professionals in data science, engineering and risk management, all focused on delivering scalable solutions for retailers of various sizes and industries.
