How Our Databricks Partnership is Transforming Merchant Risk Intelligence

Proud to spotlight our partnership with Databricks and how it’s transforming the way we deliver merchant risk intelligence.

The challenge

Rapid growth brought us rapid challenges. Siloed data, limited visibility, and onboarding timelines stretching for weeks. As we scaled across new geographies and payment providers, the cracks in our infrastructure became harder to ignore. We needed a platform that could keep pace with the volume and complexity of the data flowing through our systems.

What we built

By unifying our data and AI workflows on the Databricks platform, we fundamentally changed how we operate:

The architecture

Our implementation follows a medallion architecture pattern: raw data lands in the bronze layer from payment providers, gets cleaned and standardised in silver, and feeds our risk scoring models and customer-facing dashboards from gold. The entire pipeline runs on Delta Lake, giving us the reliability and performance we need at scale.

The AI and ML workloads run natively on Databricks too. Our risk scoring models, which analyse 30+ data sources per merchant, train and serve predictions directly from the platform. No separate ML infrastructure to manage.

Where we are now

We’re operating across Asia, Europe, and Latin America with a fully standardised and scalable infrastructure. The partnership with Databricks has been foundational to getting here, not just as a technology platform but as a team that understood what we were trying to build and helped us get there faster.
