Device Intelligence

Unit21 Device Intelligence is a real-time fraud prevention solution that enables financial institutions to detect and block threats at the device level before any transaction occurs. Powered by a partnership with Fingerprint, it delivers persistent device IDs and smart signals—such as VPN and virtual machine detection—integrated directly into fraud and AML workflows. This allows teams to uncover fraud rings, prevent account takeovers, and reduce false positives while maintaining a seamless experience for trusted users.
