New solutions catered to fintechs
How we work
Disruptive technologies are transforming the future of financial services
In the past few years alone, we’ve seen tremendous growth in the global fintech market — and there’s no sign of a slow-down in sight. In fact, the market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of roughly 20% during the next four years to reach a value of $305 billion by 2025.
This expansion is driving the need for disruptive technology-driven services to support and aid in the advancement of fintechs. Moreover, the use of embedded technology via APIs and SDKs is reshaping this future.
Additionally, machine learning, AI, and other technological improvements have challenged incumbents and brought new opportunities to the fintech market.
Problem:
While the industry is growing, the ecosystem still seeks solutions that accelerate time to market for new features and services. Virtually every fintech is looking inward and engaging in innovation sprints to drive growth and differentiation. This triggers an overwhelming need for tools that help companies do more with fewer resources. After all, there is only so much time and money available.
Furthermore, this growth has spurred more fraudsters and other cybercriminals looking to capitalize on the massive fintech industry, thus accelerating the need for additional fraud mitigation and risk reduction tools.

Use Cases
Game-changing solutions for fintechs
Our products
We built what the digital payments market was missing
Necessity is often the driver of innovation, and that’s exactly the case with ReadyRemit and Arden. Read how both of these products fill a gap in the industry, helping fintechs capture new revenue and mitigate risk.
From compensating the migrant workforce, to offering cashless payment options to underbanked populations, and to facilitating international B2B payments, cross-border payments remain essential to fueling the global economy. A staggering 1 billion people worldwide transmit and receive international money transfers. Over time, this volume shows signs of additional growth. According to the World Bank, the global inflow of remittances is expected to reach US$745.1 billion in 2025, growing at a CAGR of 1.20%, for the time period of 2021-2025.
Many fintechs are interested in adding remittances to their product offering to meet the demands of their global user base, but are held back by the challenges surrounding existing options. Challenges like poor integration experiences and supporting vast compliance regulations have opened the door to allow new payment entrants to improve the process of enabling cross-border payments.
Ultimately, it was out of this necessity that ReadyRemit became a reality because we were tired of six-to-nine-month integrations and knew there had to be a better way. As a digital payments company with more than 10 years of experience in the remittance space, we understand the pain of integrating and supporting this service long-term. Given our unique position, we collaborated with multiple remittance providers to enable fintechs to provide this offering to their end users.
We were confident in our fraud protection capabilities. We have more than a decade of experience in the global payments market. Our card programs were secured by several transaction monitoring systems, all looking at cardholder data. On top of that, we had a 24/7/365 dedicated team of fraud-monitoring experts fighting against attacks.
But on April 8, 2020, that all changed when over 100 million CNP transactions were authorized on more than 41,000 cards in a matter of hours, resulting in a $2.5 million loss. This attack exposed a blind spot in the industry.
Following this devastating event, we scoured the market to source a tool that could prevent coordinated attacks like these. Sadly, we found nothing — so we built our own solution.
Leveraging our years of experience and product-building capabilities, Arden was born, and our technology is now patent pending. Arden monitors our transactions from another angle and has saved Brightwell and our clients millions in losses on their card programs. With the addition of compliance services and biometric authentication to our customizable suite of fraud prevention tools, our capabilities under Arden continue to expand.
