Detailed Review
SEON starts from the data you already collect at signup. The moment someone types a name, email or phone number it checks the IP, the digital footprint (the company says it scores emails and phones against 350+ online profiles) and device signals, so risk shows up before an identity document is requested.
The company was founded in January 2017 and keeps its registered seat in Budapest, with further offices in London and Austin. Its privacy policy names SEON Technologies Kft. as the data controller, and a US affiliate handles the EU-US Data Privacy Framework certification.
Signals first, workflow second
The platform lists more than 1,100 first-party signals across digital footprint, device intelligence and behavioural data. Device intelligence fingerprints a device and flags emulators and spoofing, and account takeover checks cover SIM-swap detection and new-device or new-country logins.
A drag-and-drop workflow builder lets an analyst chain fraud checks, identity verification and AML screening into one onboarding journey, with rules written next to the AI score.
Fraud and AML in one place
Customer screening, payment screening and AML transaction monitoring sit in the same platform as the fraud checks, with case management that auto-assigns alerts. The company also describes AI-filled SAR and STR report forms.
For a fintech that would otherwise buy a fraud tool and a separate AML tool, that reduces integrations, though each module is priced separately on the Premium tier.
The only published price in the list
The pricing page shows the Starter plan at $699 per month, with 2,500 fraud checks, 10 users and 50 custom rules included. Premium is quoted individually and lifts the limits on checks, rules, users and API calls.
The price is in US dollars, which matters for teams budgeting in euros.
Limitations to Consider
The only public plan is Starter at $699 per month with 2,500 checks, so higher volumes mean a sales conversation. Prices are in US dollars, and the group includes a US affiliate (SEON Technologies US Inc.). The platform is wide, so a retailer that only needs payment scoring may pay for modules it does not use; Ravelin is narrower in scope.
Who Should Use SEON
Fintechs, payment companies and online operators that want fraud scoring, identity verification and AML screening from a Hungarian vendor, and want to see a starting price before a sales call.
