Where Coris goes further

01

Continuous monitoring, not a point-in-time check

Coris monitors transaction patterns, business status, adverse media, litigation, and website risk continuously, so risk signals that emerge after onboarding, not just at it, get caught.

02

Merchant fraud and transaction fraud models

Coris' CorShield evaluates business impersonation and third-party fraud risk. Transaction Monitoring scores payment activity in real time. Neither is in Middesk's product set: KYB confirms identity, it doesn't score fraud likelihood or screen transactions.

03

Case management and critical workflows built in

When a Middesk verification flags an exception, the resolution workflow lives somewhere else. Coris manages alerts and decisioning in the same system.

04

One platform across the merchant lifecycle

Coris customers replace three to four point tools (KYB vendor, fraud model, monitoring service, case management spreadsheet) with one system and one source of truth on every merchant.
