Case Study: Global Online Payment Company achieves over $450,000/month in SMS fraud cost savings with Arkose Labs

Global Online Payment Company Achieves Significant Cost Savings with Arkose Labs

Global Online Payment Company, a widely used payments platform, was losing significant revenue to international revenue share fraud (IRSF) after attackers exploited its SMS OTP validation—coordinating with telcos and using bots to trigger premium-text payouts. To stop these costly fake registrations and OTP abuses, the company implemented Arkose Labs as a protective measure in its SMS validation and authentication flows.

Arkose Labs deployed its AI-powered risk assessments and dynamic response at OTP touchpoints, using device, network, behavior, location signals, global attack data, and custom telltales to block script- and bot-driven attacks. The implementation removed large volumes of malicious traffic, reduced infrastructure and support burden, and produced measurable ROI—saving the Global Online Payment Company over $450,000 per month in fraudulent SMS charges.
