Money mule detection

Money in.Money out.Minutes apart.

Stolen money does not stay where it lands. It moves through mule accounts, in and straight out again, until it cannot be traced. Toden scores every payment as it happens and flags the accounts that receive from many people and pay out at once.

The workflow

Score each payment for the patterns a mule account leaves, and stop the next one before it leaves. This is a starting point: add, remove or reorder any step in the workflow builder.

Connection map

When a face, a phone or an address turns up again, the console draws everyone gathered around it and says in plain words what the connection means and how much weight it deserves.

How it works

1

Send each payment as it happens

One API call per transaction, with the amount, the direction and the counterparty.

2

Toden scores it against the account's history

It looks for money that arrives and leaves at once, many senders, and a quiet account that wakes up.

3

Your team gets one alert per pattern

Repeat hits roll into one alert, ready to open as a case.

What powers it

  1. The answer comes back on the same call, in time to hold the payment.

Integrate

Mount the SDK with the workflow you published, or send a hosted link and write no code. The result arrives by signed webhook, and changing the workflow never needs a release.
