What NsKnox does

NsKnox Technologies Ltd. is a private fintech-security company, founded in 2018 by Alon Cohen (formerly founder and CEO of CyberArk, NASDAQ: CYBR), that provides B2B payment fraud prevention software for corporations and banks. The company's PaymentKnox platform delivers end-to-end protection for outgoing vendor payments, incoming payments, and bank-issued services, built on patented Cooperative Cyber Security (CCS) technology and the Knox Verify global bank account validation engine, which sources data directly from authoritative banking systems rather than third-party databases. The product suite comprises PaymentKnox for Accounts Payable (with Adaptive Payment Security, Master Data Guard, and Payment Check modules), PaymentKnox for Accounts Receivable (with Bank Account Certificates), and PaymentKnox for Banks (including Dynamic Positive Pay and Global Account Validation), deployed via SaaS portal, automated file transfer, or direct ERP integration.

NsKnox generates revenue through enterprise SaaS subscriptions priced on a quote-based annual model, with pricing varying by organization size, transaction volume, and product modules. The company sells primarily through an enterprise field-sales motion targeting CFOs, Treasurers, and Accounts Payable/Receivable teams, supplemented by a self-serve SaaS portal for mid-market customers and a white-label channel through banks. Customers include Meta, Brunswick, Ansys, W.P. Carey, Cineworld, BabcockPower, UniGroup, and Menora Mivtachim, with the company claiming 'thousands of organizations worldwide' as users.

The company is headquartered in Tel Aviv with a regional office in New York, has raised $35.6M in total funding across rounds in 2019 (led by M12 and Viola Ventures) and January 2023 (led by Link Ventures and Harel Insurance), and most recently launched the Adaptive Payment Security platform in October 2025 to address the trade-off between validation speed, certainty, and effort.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Bottomline Technologies: Long-standing competitor in B2B payments, treasury, and fraud prevention for corporates and banks. Its Paymode-X and financial fraud management suite directly overlaps with PaymentKnox's account validation, master-data monitoring, and positive-pay capabilities.
• Eftsure: Vendor-supplier bank-account verification and B2B payment fraud prevention platform. Closely comparable to nsKnox's Knox Verify and Master Data Guard, with similar value proposition of validating outgoing payments against authoritative data.
• GIACT (an Equifax company): Account verification, payment fraud prevention, and identity solutions for businesses and banks. Directly overlaps nsKnox's bank account validation and payment risk offerings, now with the backing of Equifax's data assets.
• Trustifi: Email security and fraud prevention focused on protecting business payments from BEC and vendor impersonation. Addresses the same threat vectors nsKnox targets (BEC, social engineering on AP teams) from a different delivery layer.

Emerging players

• Effectiv: AI-native fraud and risk decisioning platform for fintechs and financial institutions. Comparable to nsKnox's adaptive, data-driven approach to payment fraud prevention, with overlap in anomaly detection for transactions and onboarding.
• DataVisor: AI-powered fraud and AML platform serving banks, fintechs, and digital businesses. Overlaps nsKnox's adaptive anomaly detection across payments, but typically competes in transaction-monitoring rather than pre-payment account-validation.
• Featurespace: Behavioral analytics for fraud and risk management, used by banks and payments providers. Comparable adaptive, real-time risk-scoring approach that competes for similar treasury and payments security budgets as nsKnox.
• Bottomline (legacy) / Treasury Intelligence Solutions: Bank account management and payments connectivity SaaS for corporates; competes in the same master-data and payment-file integrity space as nsKnox's Master Data Guard and Payment Check modules.

Broad incumbents

• SAP: ERP incumbent whose finance and treasury modules could natively absorb account-validation and payment-fraud functionality, posing a bundling threat to nsKnox's enterprise sales motion.
• Oracle: ERP and treasury platform incumbent with significant market share among large enterprises nsKnox targets; potential bundling risk for payment-security and master-data-integrity use cases.
