Case Study: Wonga achieves rapid, accurate fraud detection and reduced losses with Nethone

Providing advanced fraud prevention capabilities is just one part of Nethone’s solution - ensuring a dedicated customer-centric partnership is just as important in ensuring ongoing success

Wonga, a European digital instalment loan provider, faced rising identity‑theft and investment‑fraud attacks against its Polish operations and needed a rules‑based anti‑fraud solution that reduced fraud rates without degrading the customer experience. After a poor experience with a former provider, Wonga sought a partner who could provide real‑time configuration, an easy‑to‑use UI and fast, accurate decisions — needs met by Nethone’s advanced fraud prevention and rules engine.

Nethone deployed a real‑time, rules‑based solution that gathers over 5,000 digital fingerprinting signals and behavioral biometrics to spot anomalies (e.g., remote desktop ports, user‑agent spoofing, VPN/proxy use). With a median response time of 508 ms and no impact on page load, Nethone blocked multiple identity and investment fraud attempts, supplied clear dashboards and dark‑web threat intel, and earned Wonga’s decision to enter a long‑term partnership.
