Velocity was
fintech’s first MOAT
are the current
Only fintechs that secure their APIs will scale.
Achieve full API visibility without slowing developers
Levo continuously discovers and documents every internal, external, partner, and third-party API mapping versions, methods, auth patterns, payloads, and sensitive data flows in real-time.
Enforce strong access controls to prevent account takeovers and fraud
Levo actively monitors OAuth token scopes, consent bindings, and session validations automatically detecting drift, misuse, and unauthorized expansions.
By embedding real-time access control security testing during the build, fintechs prevent fraudulent transactions, account hijacks, and rewards abuse before they escalate.
Strong security posture without compromising velocity
Levo ensures that fintechs not only meet PCI-DSS 4.0, GDPR, SOC2, and other compliance frameworks that demand periodic security testing but also adapt to continuous deployment with continuous security testing.
Avoid breaches and fines with prioritized vulnerability remediation
Levo identifies and prioritizes vulnerabilities based on real exploitability and sensitive data exposure. So fintech teams focus remediation efforts where customer data, revenue, and compliance exposure are highest.
Adapt monitoring to match your business, APIs, and attack patterns
Custom YAML/Python rule engines let teams define fintech-specific defense strategies as wallet APIs, aggregation platforms, and embedded finance ecosystems grow.
API-driven velocity fueled fintech’s rise and snowballed security, compliance risks
Fintechs raced to ship APIs weekly to meet integration demands and capture market share but without continuous discovery and governance, most APIs became undocumented, abandoned, or out of security oversight.
Exposed APIs carrying sensitive payment, KYC, and authentication flows silently expanded the attack surface, leaving even production APIs vulnerable to breaches.
In the rush to ship features, APIs are shipped without embedding robust authentication, authorization, and consent governance into their development pipelines.
As OAuth token scopes silently expanded and refreshed tokens aged without proper validation, fintech aggregators and third-party apps overreached data boundaries violating consent.
DAST tools introduce excessive run times and noise into fast-moving pipelines, while SAST tools flood teams with false positives. Neither detect API-specific vulnerabilities like BOLA, BFLA, or consent drift.
Thus Fintechs attempting to "shift left" manually find themselves trading away developer velocity without any meaningful improvement in API security posture.
Each new API introduced regulatory overlap: PCI-DSS 4.0 encryption requirements, GDPR consent enforcement, SOC2 audit trail mandates, RBI cyber resilience guidelines all operating across different jurisdictions, cadences, and reporting models.
Manual spreadsheet-driven compliance efforts collapse under this pressure resulting in audit failures and fines.
Governance success requires developers to enforce security and compliance policies directly inside their workflows not retrofitted later by security teams.
But expecting manual checklist-driven governance across hundreds of siloed dev teams has proven to be impractical and unsustainable, making governance fragmented, delayed, and unable to keep pace.
Lead the next fintech race
without losing the velocity that built you
Eliminate API sprawl before it triggers breaches
Levo’s eBPF-powered discovery engine continuously maps every API: external, internal, third-party, open source, zombie and shadow APIs across all environments.
It classifies exposure points handling sensitive data without strong access control all without needing any code or configuration changes.
Real-time API documentation for faster integrations
Every discovered API is instantly documented with 12+ granular parameters: versions, endpoints, methods, auth logic, payload structures, rate limits, and human-readable descriptions.
This streamlines secure partner onboarding, accelerates fintech integrations (Plaid, Stripe, embedded finance partners), and ensures APIs are ready for compliance validation without incurring developer bottlenecks or technical debt.
Launch new APIs faster without diminishing security posture
Every code merge triggers context-aware attack simulations across APIs security testing for scraping risks, token replay attacks, OAuth misconfigurations, BOLA/BFLA vulnerabilities, consent drift, and PKCE enforcement failures.
Testing is fully automated inside GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins, and Bitbucket pipelines ensuring vulnerabilities are detected before release without slowing down feature launches.
Proactively protect customer data at the source
Levo automatically detects and classifies sensitive data flows (PCI DSS cardholder data, PII, account metadata, transaction details, consent artifacts) across all APIs including third-party and open integrations.
By pinpointing APIs touching critical financial information, fintechs can proactively enforce encryption, access control, tokenization, and rate limiting.
API governance success without sacrificing developer agility
Levo continuously monitors all API traffic for deviations from secure development policies. SSL inconsistencies, missing authentication headers, exposed server version leaks, improper encryption, and PII overexposures out of the box are continuously detected and surfaced.
Custom YAML/Python rule engines let security teams enforce fintech-specific governance requirements like mandatory encryption, proper CORS settings, and header validation so APIs stay compliant without manual inspection.
Lead with velocity. Win with security posture. Grow with trust.
