Investment of $25M in Casap's Series A aims to transform payment disputes using artificial intelligence, thereby eradicating first-party fraud losses
Casap Secures $25 Million to Revolutionize Dispute Resolution in Financial Services
Casap, a leading AI-powered platform, has raised $25 million in Series A funding, bringing its total funding to $33.5 million. The funding round was led by Emergence Capital, with participation from Lightspeed Venture Partners, Primary Venture Partners, SoFi, and others [1].
This investment signals a surge in demand from financial institutions looking to address outdated, slow, and expensive dispute workflows. Casap's proprietary fraud score identifies suspicious consumers and merchants proactively, reducing disputes [2].
Casap's AI-powered platform is designed to combat first-party fraud by transforming the dispute resolution process in financial institutions. It automates the entire lifecycle—from intake and evidence collection to outcome prediction and automatic chargeback filing [1][2][3].
The platform uses AI agents to analyze evidence, generate fraud scores, and flag suspicious behavior before a financial institution issues a refund. This automation enables financial institutions to reduce first-party fraud losses by over 51%, accelerate dispute processing by more than 50%, and manage 4 to 5 times more fraud volume without additional staff [1][2][3][5].
Financial institutions are under pressure to do more with less, and Casap aims to address this by delivering transformational infrastructure. Customers benefit from real-time decisions, predictive win scores, and self-service experiences that build trust [1][2].
Casap helps financial institutions streamline dispute resolution by automating credits, merchant responses, and chargebacks. It also provides real-time decisions and self-service tools for customers, integrates regulatory expertise and network connections for efficient fraud claim identification, and offers a proprietary AI-driven fraud scoring engine for predicting and preventing future fraudulent disputes [2][3][4].
The platform modernizes a traditionally costly and outdated area of banking compliance, specifically addressing the rising challenge of first-party fraud, which accounts for 30-50% of fraud losses in financial services [2][4][5]. With the new funding, Casap is expanding its AI capabilities and scaling its platform to further eliminate friction across the payments lifecycle [2][3][4].
Casap's Co-founder and CEO, Shanthi Shanmugam, mentioned that the platform aims to deliver stronger consumer retention, fewer losses, and no regulatory missteps. Disputes are seen as a starting point for Casap, with the aim to transform them into a loyalty driver and a competitive advantage [1].
Rob Keatts, Chief Strategy Officer at Chartway FCU, stated that Casap has been the most meaningful operational upgrade to their claims process in decades. Emergence Capital's Carlotta Siniscalco stated that Casap turns disputes into an opportunity to earn trust. Casap's solutions are designed to streamline dispute resolution, reduce fraud losses, and build consumer loyalty [1].
As Casap expands, it aims to redefine how financial institutions operate payments, turning fraud and inefficiency into rare exceptions. The platform is also expanding to manage other post-transaction workflows, beyond dispute resolution [1].
Casap's AI agents handle the full dispute lifecycle, from intake to chargeback filing and member communication. The platform intelligently analyzes evidence, predicts outcomes, and automates key actions such as issuing credits, filing chargebacks, and responding to merchants. Institutions like Chartway FCU and MidSouth Community FCU have seen real impact, including a 51% reduction in fraud losses and positive ROI in weeks [1].
In summary, Casap's AI-powered platform equips banks, credit unions, and fintechs with a scalable, efficient, and intelligent solution that drastically reduces fraud losses and streamlines dispute resolution through end-to-end automation and advanced fraud detection.
