is the strongest fit for mid-market and enterprise fintech teams with fraud budgets and technical infrastructure to match. If your company processes hundreds of thousands of accounts per month and faces synthetic identity or account takeover fraud at scale, Sardine's behavioral biometrics and device intelligence will meaningfully reduce attack surface. The Nacha partnership and compliance infrastructure make it especially valuable for companies approaching institutional lending or regulated payment operations. Teams with smaller fraud volumes, tight budgets, or legacy systems should evaluate whether the entry cost and integration complexity justify the benefit. Start with a pilot on a single use case, like new account fraud, to validate ROI before committing to full platform deployment.

Pricing
Sardine uses a consumption-based pricing model with a minimum monthly commit. Typical enterprise deployments run $100k to $200k annually, though exact pricing depends on transaction volume, number of risk events, and modules licensed. Deployment is cloud-only via API and SDK integration across web, iOS, and Android. Sales team engagement is required for contracts and implementation planning.
