KYT (Know Your Transaction)
Know Your Transaction (KYT) complements KYC by monitoring user behavior and financial flows in real-time. While KYC verifies who the user is, KYT verifies what they are doing.
Behavioral Monitoring
PredictaID monitors transactions to detect anomalies such as:
- Sudden Spikes: A user who normally spends R$50 suddenly spends R$5,000.
- Velocity: Multiple transactions in a short time window.
- Location: Transactions from a new or high-risk country.
- Structuring: Multiple small transactions designed to evade detection.
Rule-Based Engine
KYT is powered by our Rules Engine. You define logic to flag suspicious activity:
"IF
Transaction Amount>2000ANDAccount Age<30 daysTHENFLAG as High Risk"
Continuous Risk Scoring
Every transaction updates the user's risk profile. A user might pass KYC (Verified Identity) but later be flagged by KYT (Suspicious Activity), triggering a Step-Up Verification flow (e.g., asking for a new selfie).
Integration
KYT is automatically applied when you submit data via the Transactions API.
