Riskified

Riskified sells fraud and risk decisioning for ecommerce checkout, built around a chargeback-guarantee model: it approves or declines transactions in real time using an AI-driven risk engine, and for the orders it approves, it guarantees the merchant against fraud-related chargebacks. That shifts fraud liability from the merchant to Riskified for approved orders, which is a meaningfully different commercial arrangement than a typical fraud-scoring tool that leaves the accept/decline decision and its financial consequences with the merchant.

Founded in 2012 with dual headquarters in New York City and Tel Aviv, Riskified went public on the NYSE under ticker RSKD and reported revenue of $297.6 million in 2023. The company’s client base includes many of the largest global ecommerce brands, and in March 2025 it launched Adaptive Checkout, an extension aimed at reducing false declines and improving conversion rates alongside fraud prevention — addressing the common tension between blocking fraud and not turning away legitimate buyers.

Riskified ended 2025 with roughly 670 employees, a modest year-over-year headcount decline the company attributes to increased use of AI tools to improve efficiency rather than to a business downturn. As a public company, its revenue, growth, and headcount figures are subject to standard SEC financial disclosure and are independently verifiable through its filings, which gives more grounding to its scale claims than is typical for a privately held vendor; specific fraud-catch-rate and false-decline-reduction percentages it publishes, however, remain company-reported.
