Pelican's platform is format-agnostic and can process many types of digital transaction file formats. As it is based on a robust architecture that supports updates and process improvements, it can be easily integrated into legacy systems.

"Pelican is one of the first companies to incorporate AI mechanisms in the end-to-end payment process. It has included natural language processing, a knowledge-based system, and machine learning algorithms to strengthen fraud detection and better align with global regulations," said Frost & Sullivan Jean-Noël Georges, Global Program Director. "This smart approach positions Pelican as a visionary developer of fraud detection and anti money laundering solutions."

Pelican's fraud prevention solution safeguards payments transmitted over multiple networks including SWIFT's, a global provider of secure financial messaging services for more than 11,000 financial institutions in more than 200 countries. The company has achieved a number of major certifications and accreditations from various regulatory bodies. More specifically, SWIFT certified Pelican as a trusted third party, and the company earned further accreditations from TRUSTe and ISO 27001 (information security management system standard).

"Pelican's AI-based platform manages multi channels and protocols in real time and shortens response time, improves the quality of fraud detection and better anticipates new threats," noted George. "By being format agnostic, it can process all existing and future sources of digital payment data. It also employs AI algorithms to reduce false positive rates (FPRs) by 72%, in turn, lowering the need for human intervention and ensuring that payment processes are made in near real-time."

Pelican's platforms can be deployed on-premise, or provided as a secure cloud-based service that creates a more flexible pricing structure for the client.
