Feedzai, a global leader in financial crime prevention, has acquired Demyst, a provider of external data integration solutions, in a move aimed at enhancing its AI-powered risk decisioning capabilities and enabling financial institutions to act on insights faster and more effectively.
With this acquisition, Feedzai will integrate Demyst’s no-code platform into its RiskOps suite, allowing financial institutions to securely access and deploy hundreds of external data sources—such as sanctions lists, device data, and identity verification services—without heavy IT involvement or regulatory delays.
“With Demyst, we’re unlocking the ability for banks and financial institutions to bring together vast amounts of external data—instantly and compliantly—to build the next generation of AI-driven decisioning systems,” said Nuno Sebastiao, CEO and Co-founder of Feedzai. “This is a game changer in how our customers manage risk, fight financial crime, and protect their customers.”

The integration aims to eliminate long-standing friction points in data onboarding and enable real-time decisioning at scale, accelerating time-to-value for financial crime and fraud prevention use cases. Institutions will gain the flexibility to select the most relevant datasets and deploy them with speed—supporting better-informed decisions without compromising security or compliance.
This strategic move further strengthens Feedzai’s position as a pioneer in the financial crime risk operations (RiskOps) space, providing banks and fintechs with a unified platform to detect and prevent threats across transactions, onboarding, and account monitoring. The company expects the combined capabilities to redefine how data is used in the fight against increasingly sophisticated financial threats.
