Where SEON Wins Over Nethone

  • Our data enrichment gives you more real-life context of a transaction by looking at your users’ social media presence (or lack thereof) and the risk scores are applied accordingly – not just at the signals captured during the user journey.
  • The AML capabilities are stronger, as SEON checks sanction lists and PEP lists, among others.
