History

[edit]

In 2011 Rajesh Ramanand founded the company with a colleague from PayPal, Michael Liberty. Michael Liberty was the manager of new ventures risk at PayPal before joining Signifyd.[9] Ramanand was the head of risks on PayPal’s Emerging Market team before he resigned to co-found Signifyd.[10]

The founders original idea for Signifyd was to create a service to prevent, score and detect abusive content and account creation as early as 2010. There was also shown information around preventing offensive content and harassment.[11] However this idea was later ditched to focus on just preventing fraudulent transactions.

Signifyd originally just provided a investigation tool where merchants provided basic transaction details, then Signifyd would enrich the data and give a score, but not provide a financial guarantee.[12][13] In 2015 Signifyd expanded their services to include a financial guarantee also names Guaranteed Payments using their machine learning decisions.[14]
