Manipulation fraud, the customer deceived into paying. is the majority of transfer fraud value in Europe. Authentication answers who pays; nothing answers in what condition.

Sold to European banks via paid pilots converting to annual licences. Team: cognitive neuroscience + engineering. Funds: validation, compliance, growth.
Product/Technology Development Stage
MVP developedOrganization description
METIS is an Italian RegTech startup applying cognitive science to financial safety. Our product, CogniShield, replaces the traditional CAPTCHA with a short battery of interactive micro-tasks that capture behavioural interaction signals during high-risk banking operations — measuring how someone is engaging, rather than inferring it. Grounded in a decade of cognitive neuroscience research and currently in pilot discussions with Italian banks.
