Sardine, the behavior-based fraud, compliance and payments platform, announced Simon Taylor as its Head of Content & Strategy. The appointment has been made after Sardine achieved its milestone of acquiring over 100 customers.
Sardine aims to transform how companies “move money and fight fraud through its behavior-based fraud and compliance platform.”
Building the industry’s “only” platform that combines identity, device, and behavioral data with “bank-grade” insights, protecting their customers against every touchpoint—”stopping fraud at the time of new customer onboarding, account funding, and during payments in and out of a digital wallet.”
Simon Taylor, the newly appointed Head of Content & Strategy, “brings years of experience advising governments, regulators, and some of the world’s largest banks, financial institutions, and Fintech companies, helping them innovate their business models by adopting new technologies, like web3.”
He will “focus on establishing and growing Sardine’s voice in the market, shaping how the company educates and empowers its customers and the broader Fintech community.”
Simon is “known for his popular Fintech blog, Fintech Brainfood.”
Simon Taylor said:
“I am beyond excited to join Sardine. I genuinely believe that finance impacts everything in our lives, from how schools get built, to how criminals get paid. Sardine is on the front line, not only preventing fraud but upgrading the safety and security of the entire industry so everyone can move money with confidence. The opportunity to learn from this world-class team and bring its insights to a broader audience was too great to pass up.”
Soups Ranjan, CEO, and Co-Founder at Sardine, remarked:
“We’re thrilled to have one of the leading voices in Fintech join Sardine at such a pivotal time in our company’s journey. Simon will play an integral role in redefining the narrative around payments, fraud, and compliance – enabling the market to adopt a new approach, so they can focus their efforts on improving their customer experience and ultimately scaling their growth.”
Sardine was recently “added to the Breakout List, named one of the top high-growth startups in the United States, and is actively hiring for roles across Engineering, Product, Customer Success, Sales, Legal & People.”
As noted in the update, Sardine is “a behavior-based fraud and compliance platform used by leading financial institutions, fintech, crypto, and NFT companies to prevent fraud during account opening, funding, and payments.”
Sardine also “provides full fraud guarantees when funds are acquired via ACH or card rails.”
The team built the fraud prevention and compliance infrastructure that “scaled Coinbase and Revolut.”
Sardine is backed by key investors, “including Andreessen Horowitz, NYCA, and XYZ. Customers include Brex, Moonpay, Bakkt, and Candy Digital.”
