Turn your highest-risk merchant segments into your fastest-growing ones.
AI-underwritten credit insurance that makes deferred delivery merchants commercially viable to onboard. Coverage calibrated by intelligent risk scoring, not static rules. Replace rolling reserves. Stop declining merchants you should be winning.
The problem Protect solves
Rolling reserves protect against the expected. Protect covers what reserves never could.
Without Envisso Protect
- Decline high-value travel and OTA merchants because settlement exposure is too large
- Impose rolling reserves that slow onboarding, frustrate merchants, and drive them to competitors
- Still underprotected. Thomas Cook reserves covered <10% of actual chargeback exposure
- Working capital locked in collateral, a cost your merchants feel and resent
With Envisso Protect
- Onboard travel, OTA, subscription, and event merchants previously off-limits
- Zero collateral requirements. Merchants go live faster with better working capital
- Tier 1 insurer coverage, stress-tested across 10,000 macroeconomic scenarios
- Risk management becomes a commercial growth lever, not a cost centre
How Protect works
Embedded insurance, not an insurance product.
Built into your onboarding and risk workflow, not bolted on as a separate policy your team has to manage.
Merchant applies to onboard
Envisso Monitor scores the merchant across 30+ data sources. The risk score determines coverage level automatically.
Protect underwrites the coverage
Tier 1 insurers provide specialised merchant default coverage. No rolling reserve. No capital held. The merchant goes live.
Monitor watches continuously
If signals deteriorate, you get an alert. We work with you on coverage adjustment before exposure becomes a loss.
Default triggers payout
If a covered merchant defaults, the insurance claim is processed. Your chargeback liability is covered by the insurer.
Dynamic collateral management
For payment companies that prefer to manage exposure through collateral rather than insurance. Protect's collateral module recommends the right position to hold on a dynamic, per-merchant basis, calibrated to actual risk, not a fixed percentage rule.
How DCM works
Risk score determines position
Each merchant's collateral requirement is calculated from their live risk score, not a static percentage.
Positions adjust automatically
As a merchant's risk improves, collateral reduces. As it deteriorates, positions strengthen before exposure grows.
Lower cost, better protection
Merchants keep more working capital. You hold the right amount, not an arbitrary percentage.

The merchant verticals you've been declining
Travel & Airlines
Long booking windows, high average values, significant settlement gap between purchase and delivery.
OTAs & Hospitality
Online travel agents and hotel platforms: advance payment, concentrated chargeback risk on cancellations.
Subscriptions & SaaS
Recurring billing creates ongoing credit exposure, and chargeback velocity can spike suddenly when a platform fails.
Events & Ticketing
Tickets sold months in advance create concentrated, time-limited settlement risk that reserves can't adequately cover.
