  Accertify Inc. is a global leader in digital risk management, providing a unified risk decisioning platform that helps businesses approve more good customers while detecting and preventing fraud, abuse, and chargebacks. Founded in 2007 by a team of in-house fraud analysts who recognised that traditional fraud prevention methods were failing against increasingly sophisticated online attacks, the company has grown to process over 14 billion events annually, representing more than US$1.2 trillion in gross merchandise value. Accertify’s core offering, the Predictive Yes Platform, combines adaptive intelligence, machine learning, and a consortium data approach that aggregates shared signals across a vast global community. This allows clients to approve legitimate transactions with less friction while staying ahead of emerging threats such as account takeover, first-party abuse, and payment fraud. The platform provides end-to-end protection spanning the entire customer journey – from login to dispute. Headquartered in Itasca, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago), Accertify was acquired by American Express in 2010 and operated as a subsidiary for 14 years. In 2024, it was acquired and carved out by private equity firm Accel-KKR, returning to independent operation. The company serves clients across diverse industries worldwide, including major online gambling operators, financial institutions, marketplaces, and travel platforms. With leadership appointments announced in early 2026, Accertify is now focused on accelerating go-to-market execution and deepening its impact as an independent entity.
