Nacha’s newest Preferred Partner is Sardine, a leader in fraud and compliance solutions. Sardine joins a select group of organizations as a Nacha Preferred Partner in the categories of Compliance, Fraud Monitoring, and Risk and Fraud Prevention.

“Strengthening risk management and combating fraud continue to be top priorities for Nacha and ACH Network participants,” said Jane Larimer, Nacha President and CEO. “We are pleased to welcome Sardine as a Nacha Preferred Partner.”

Sardine validates accounts for customers using both traditional signals, such as account holder name matching and balance, and its behavioral biometrics, which look at things such as copy/paste of customer personal information, or if the device is being operated with remote software. Additionally, Sardine offers compliance services including transaction monitoring for anti-money laundering and sanctions screening.

“As a leading provider of fraud and compliance solutions, partnering with Nacha helps us bring our advanced, real-time fraud prevention technologies to more of the payments industry,” said Soups Ranjan, CEO and Co-Founder of Sardine. “By working together on innovative solutions, we can tackle the complex risks from AI-driven scams and authorized push payment fraud. Our platform not only handles real-time transaction monitoring but also protects the entire customer lifecycle, ensuring the integrity of the ACH Network.”
