AI-native decisioning engine

Decide in real time, with the evidence attached.

Nyx is a decisioning engine for banks, NBFCs, fintechs and PSPs. It approves, reviews or declines inside the authorization path, whether the buyer is a person or an agent acting on their mandate, and every verdict carries the evidence to defend it.

Why now

Three forces are compressing the decision window at once.

Attacks are produced faster than models retrain, regulators are putting real-time controls on the party making the decision, and a new kind of customer has started transacting on its own with nobody yet liable for it. Fraud is where most decision stacks break first, but none of these three stops at fraud.

Force 1 · the attack

The attack is automated.

Deepfake KYC, synthetic identity and GenAI social engineering, generated at a scale supervised models cannot retrain against.

Force 2 · the liability

The liability is moving to you.

Regulators are putting real-time controls, reporting and reimbursement on the party making the decision, on dated timelines. The nearest one is a risk-based authentication requirement, not a recommendation.

Force 3 · the customer

The customer may not be human.

Agents find, evaluate and buy on a person's behalf. The device and behavioral signals every stack leans on vanish with them, unverified agent traffic falls back to card-not-present treatment, and no rail has yet said who is liable.

The decision domains

One engine. Six decisions. An honest status on each.

Nothing domain-specific is welded into the kernel. A versioned pack declares the entities, features, policies and actions a domain needs, so the second decision is a configuration exercise rather than a second procurement.

Five of these are decisions a bank, NBFC, fintech, processor or lender makes about a customer. Agentic commerce is the one a PSP runs for its merchants, on the agents now buying on a customer's behalf.

Two are ready to pilot today: fraud decisioning for institutions, and publishing to the agent protocols for the merchants a PSP serves. Any of these can be the one we start with. Compare all six →

The engine

The verdict stays fast. The investigation runs beside it.

One synchronous call returns the action, score, reason, rule hits, model version and audit reference, and writes the evidence record beside it. The heavier AI work runs asynchronously and never enters the authorization path.

Deployment & trust

How it deploys is your call, not our constraint.

The same engine, the same API and the same evidence record in all three models. Pick the one your regulator, your security team and your stage of growth allow.

Hosted by us · managed

We run it in the region you pick, single-tenant by default. Multi-tenant where one institution serves its own merchants on it. The fastest route for fintechs, PSPs, merchants and smaller institutions with no platform team to spare.

Your cloud

Deployed into your own AWS, Azure or GCP account and VPC. Your keys, your network, your data residency; we ship and support the release.

Your data center

On-premises inside your perimeter, for institutions whose regulator or policy requires it. No bulk extraction to a third-party black box.

DATA HANDLING

Your data stays yours, in-country, in every model. Native data-lake integration, PII masking, injection guardrails on every AI call, and models trained on your transactions only.

ACCESS & EVIDENCE

Role-based access and enterprise SSO (Keycloak / OIDC). An evidence record per decision, idempotent and replayable, structured for regulatory reporting.

COMPLIANCE MAPPING

SAMA CFF and CBUAE 3057 control mappings are written. The evidence pack for CBUAE's AI guidance (11 Feb 2026) and FREE-AI is shaped with the first partner under each; other regimes are mapped with the first partner in that jurisdiction.

PORTABILITY

Open standards end to end. Your models, features and decision history stay portable, and exit terms are written into the pilot, not discovered later.

Who's building this

A team that has built the systems businesses decide with.

THE TEAM

NaxVerse is a senior engineering team spanning real-time authorization, fraud scoring, risk decisioning, ML infrastructure and DevSecOps. People who have built and operated these systems inside banks and payment processors, now building the platform they wished they had.

Led by founder Umesh Kolhe: two decades across the payments lifecycle at JPMorgan, TSYS and Pine Labs, from authorization and fraud scoring to the ML infrastructure behind them.

JPMorganTSYSPine LabsisPAY
THE COMPANY

NaxVerse Technologies Pvt Ltd is headquartered in Noida, India, in the Delhi NCR, and works with banks, NBFCs, fintechs, processors, lenders and merchants wherever they are regulated. Founder-led, pre-launch, and forming a small design-partner cohort now.

Questions

The questions that come up first.

Short answers, carrying the same qualifiers as the rest of the site.

What is Nyx?

An AI-native decisioning engine. It approves, reviews or declines a transaction or an account action in real time, inside the authorization path, and attaches the evidence to defend that decision afterwards. One engine covers fraud, agent trust, credit risk, underwriting, disputes, AML and KYC through versioned domain packs, instead of one vendor per decision.

What is the evidence that gets attached to a decision?

Every decision returns the action, the score, the severity band, the policies and rules that fired, the model version and an audit reference in the same response. A canonical evidence record is written beside it: actor, principal, mandate, what was shown, consent, decision, outcome and dispute status. That record is what a dispute or an examination is answered with later. The record is in build, and its schema is versioned from the first write.

Who is it for?

Banks, NBFCs, digital banks, fintechs, payment aggregators and PSPs, acquirers, lenders and merchants. Institutions are the direct buyer. Merchants are reached through the PSPs that embed the trust endpoint for them, and a merchant can also come directly. Size is not a gate, because the hosted deployment removes the need for an in-house platform team.

Is Nyx running in production today?

No. NaxVerse is pre-launch and founder-led. The fraud pack is built and ready to pilot, agent trust is open to design partners, and the performance figures on this site are design targets to validate in a first pilot rather than benchmarked results. NaxVerse publishes targets, not testimonials it does not have.

Where does the data live?

In your jurisdiction, in all three deployment models: hosted and managed by NaxVerse in the region you choose, inside your own cloud account and VPC, or in your data center. The engine, the API, the packs and the evidence record are identical in all three. Models train on your data only, and no deployment requires bulk extraction.

How does an engagement start?

With a shadow replay of your own decision history, run in the deployment model you choose with nothing leaving your perimeter. It produces four numbers you do not have today: false declines recoverable, mule accounts missed, agent-originated traffic share, and dispute cases defensible with evidence.

Pick a decision · replay your history

Replay your history. Keep the number.

A shadow-mode replay of your own decision history, run where your data already is, in any of the three deployment models, with nothing leaving your perimeter. It produces four numbers you do not have today: the false declines you could recover, the mule accounts you missed, how much of your traffic is already agent-originated, and which disputes you could have defended with evidence. Then extend the same governed engine into the next decision.

Not a bank, or not the fraud use case? NBFCs, fintechs, PSPs, lenders and merchants run on the same engine, and so does the decision you need. Write to us.
