The Growing Cost of Fraud

Fraudsters never stop innovating. From synthetic identities to deepfake onboarding, every year brings new tricks to exploit existing systems. The burden of catching fraud in real time falls directly on businesses and the cost of letting it slip through the cracks can be devastating.

According to Fortune Business Insights the global fraud detection and prevention market was valued at $52.82 billion in 2024 and is projected to exceed $246 billion by 2032. It reflects how serious and expensive the problem has become. Despite this, many organizations are still stuck with manual reviews and disconnected APIs, burning through budgets on processes that software could automate in seconds.

Workflow in one glance:

name: fraud_detection_pipeline

steps:
  - HTTP:   # Identity check
      id: kyc_check
      url: https://kyc.example.com/check
      body:
        userId: {{ inputs.userId }}

  - HTTP:   # Risk scoring
      id: risk_score
      url: https://risk.example.com/score
      body:
        transactionId: {{ inputs.transactionId }}
        kyc: {{ steps.kyc_check.response.body }}

  - DECISIONTABLE:   # Rules
      id: fraud_rules
      rules:
        - when: { score: "<600" } then: { outcome: "BLOCK" }
        - when: { score: "<750" } then: { outcome: "REVIEW" }
        - default: { outcome: "APPROVE" }

  - SWITCHCASE:   # Routing
      switch: {{ steps.fraud_rules.outcome }}
      cases:
        BLOCK:
          - HTTP: { url: https://transactions/block }
        REVIEW:
          - HTTP: { url: https://review-queue/enqueue }
        APPROVE:
          - HTTP: { url: https://transactions/approve }

Unmeshed manages the entire flow of API calls during digital banking onboarding, helping banks cut down on costly developer hours and avoid endless maintenance of fragile scripts, effectively freeing up budget for innovation.

Why Orchestration Saves Money

Instead of throwing more engineers or analysts at the problem, Unmeshed connects all the moving parts into single and automated flow. That shift saves money in three big ways:

1. – Less Manual Review

Most fraud teams spend hours chasing false positives. Incorporating orchestration automates auto-approves on low-risk transaction; for high-risk case it can be blocked instantly. Human task is required only when the rules say, ‘required further review’.

2. – Eliminate fragile scripts to maintain

Without orchestration, developer needs to spend substantial time and resources to fix broken script that stitch every API or data source, silently draining budgets and eating up developer’s time. Unmeshed handles the integrations automatically, freeing developers to focus on core work.

3. – Predictable cost at any scale

While it is not possible to fully eliminate fraudulent activities, Unmeshed handles millions of processes at fixed rate only.

Conclusion: Unmeshed complements Fraud Detection Process using Orchestration Platform

Fraud detection is complex and can’t be stitched together with broken scripts and siloed tools anymore. Unmeshed connects all the APIs and services into one seamless pipeline, so processes flow with little human intervention or brittle scripts.

Banks today spend millions on fraud analysts chasing false positives. With Unmeshed, one mid-market bank automated 95% of checks, cutting review workload by half.”
