Case Study: PhonePe achieves secure, low-latency mobile payments with Cloudflare

PhonePe cuts 90% of malicious attacks with Cloudflare

PhonePe, a leading Indian mobile payment platform processing over 3.6 billion transactions monthly, faced the challenge of securing its platform from constant attacks while ensuring low-latency, compliant transactions during massive daily traffic surges. They partnered with Cloudflare for its security solutions and content delivery network to protect customer data and maintain a frictionless user experience.

Cloudflare implemented its Web Application Firewall (WAF) to geo-block international traffic, immediately stopping over 90% of malicious attacks. Using Cloudflare Workers for serverless image resizing and Stream for adaptive video delivery, PhonePe offloaded 80% of traffic from origin servers, achieved a 10x reduction in infrastructure costs, and ensured a smooth customer experience. Cloudflare also helps ensure compliance with local data regulations, providing critical security and performance at scale.
