“Can a fraud-prevention specialist become the unified identity-decisioning layer across the entire payments stack — including PSPs and AI agents?”
Founded 2013 as a chargeback-guarantee fraud prevention platform by ex-PayPal/Fraud Sciences engineers. Expanded from pure fraud decisioning into a broader trust platform spanning payment optimization (PSD2/3DS), dispute management, account protection, and abuse prevention. Most recently pivoted toward 'Agentic Commerce' orchestration — offering a unified decisioning layer plus Forter Element, a white-label fraud product for PSPs, positioning Forter as infrastructure for the payments ecosystem rather than just an end-merchant tool.
Forter was founded by Michael Reitblat, Liron Damri and Alon Shemesh and is founded in 2013, headquartered in New York, NY, USA & Tel Aviv, Israel.
Forter has raised $525M+ in total (latest round: Series F, 2021; valuation: $3B (2021)).
