Recipient risk insight, not a transfer decision

  1. Customer initiates a transfer.
  2. Your server checks the recipient with GoWaly.
  3. Your application applies its own decision policy.

Sandbox data is synthetic and non-authoritative.

Why integrate GoWaly

Traditional bank transfers only confirm that an account exists. GoWaly adds an intelligence layer that helps financial institutions detect recipient risk before customers complete a payment.

Real time recipient checks

Identify accounts associated with reported frauds before funds are transferred.

Reporting API

Submit structured fraud reports with payment metadata for moderation.

Risk scoring and insights

Receive risk level, risk score, report count, and a recommendation for your decision policy.

Enterprise security

Use scoped Bearer API keys from your server and keep credentials out of client apps.
