From transaction to decision in milliseconds

A five-layer defence that combines deterministic rules, probabilistic ML, and enriched signals — giving you the speed of heuristics and the intelligence of AI.

01

Transaction Ingestion

Every UPI transaction hits the vcurd API. Metadata — amount, merchant category, device, time, velocity — is extracted and enriched in real time.

02

Rule Engine Evaluation

The transaction is evaluated against all active rules in priority order. A BLOCK rule stops it immediately; FLAG / DELAY / 2FA rules apply their action and continue.

03

ML Scoring & Decision

The trained XGBoost pipeline scores the transaction, producing a fraud probability with SHAP explanations. The final verdict — APPROVE / HOLD / BLOCK — is returned with full reasoning.

04

Graph & Signal Enrichment

In parallel: mule score lookup, bureau velocity check, fan-out graph analysis, and consent/AA anomaly detection. All signals are attached to the transaction record.

05

Alert & Compliance

An alert is created, the RBI compliance countdown is updated, the compliance log is written, and a WebSocket broadcast is sent to all dashboard clients in real time.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from banks, fintechs, and compliance teams evaluating vcurd.

What is vcurd? +
vcurd is an AI-powered real-time UPI fraud detection and rule management platform built for the Indian financial ecosystem. It uses a custom-trained ML model, a dynamic no-code rule engine, and multi-platform LLM intelligence to detect and block fraudulent UPI transactions in under 50ms.
Is vcurd RBI and CERT-In compliant? +
Yes. vcurd is built with RBI and CERT-In obligations in mind. It includes one-click FMR export, automated CERT-In incident report generation, full immutable audit trail, SAR/STR filing workflow for FIU-India, and an RBI compliance countdown dashboard. See the Compliance page for full details.
How fast is vcurd's fraud detection? +
vcurd detects and scores UPI transactions in under 50 milliseconds, combining rule engine evaluation and ML scoring in a single synchronous pipeline. Rule-only blocks can complete in under 5ms. This is fast enough to block transactions before UPI completion — not just alert after the fact.
How does vcurd detect mule accounts? +
vcurd uses NetworkX graph analysis to build a directed VPA→VPA transaction graph and computes a composite Mule Score (0–100) based on 6 signals: VPA age, account dormancy, pass-through ratio, device sharing, MHA high-risk district location, and SEON phone/IP intelligence. Scores above 90 trigger automatic blocking; above 60 trigger flagging. The graph analysis catches 2nd and 3rd-hop mules that rule-based systems miss.
Which AI platforms does vcurd support? +
vcurd supports OpenAI GPT-4o, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and local open-source models via Ollama — all switchable from the admin panel without code changes or restarts. vcurd also includes its own proprietary fraud intelligence model trained on Indian UPI transaction patterns.
Which types of institutions use vcurd? +
vcurd is used by scheduled commercial banks, digital lending fintechs, payment aggregators, NBFCs, MFIs, and CERT-In empanelled cybersecurity organisations. Each institution type has purpose-built modules — see Banks, Fintechs, Payment Aggregators, and NBFCs.
Can a non-engineer create fraud detection rules? +
Yes. vcurd's no-code rule engine lets risk analysts create, test, and activate new fraud rules without any engineering involvement. Rules can be activated or deactivated instantly. AI-powered rule suggestions from the swarm agent further reduce the burden of rule creation — the system identifies new fraud patterns and suggests rules automatically.
Can vcurd be deployed on-premise? +
Yes. vcurd is designed for on-premise or private cloud deployment to satisfy RBI data localisation requirements and internal security policies. The full platform — including ML model, rule engine, analytics, and compliance reporting — runs in your own infrastructure via Docker Compose. Contact us for deployment options.
