the design studio
We work with Heads of Fraud and Product, UX designers, technologists, and developers as specialist behavioural experts to embed financial crime intelligence directly into products and services. From awareness campaigns and education to informing AI-led technology development, we translate research into practical design solutions that disrupt criminal opportunity.
By collaborating with technology providers, we refine and strengthen fraud prevention tools, ensuring they are not just compliant but resilient in the real world – building safer systems, smarter processes, and more secure customer experiences.
