Issuer processing company Enfuce has launched Fortitude Pledge, a new internal standard designed to eliminate financial crime risks across all card transactions it processes. 

Enfuce noted that while payments infrastructure has enabled global financial access, it is also being misused to automate scams, obscure illicit transactions, and fuel criminal activity.  

The company outlines an approach to compliance and risk mitigation, including the screening of all transactions, the flagging of all high-risk transactions, the blocking of all prohibited transactions, and the reporting of all suspicious activity.  

In addition, Enfuce said it will ensure that all employees receive training in anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) practices. 

The Fortitude Pledge builds on Enfuce existing compliance and ESG-related initiatives, which have included the development of humanitarian prepaid solutions and efforts to improve financial inclusion.  

The company is a participant in the UN Global Compact Network Finland’s SDG Ambition programme, which supports sustainable development goals within the corporate sector. 

In a statement, the company urges financial institutions, businesses, and industry stakeholders to adopt similar measures, framing the pledge as a call to move beyond regulatory minimums and uphold compliance standards. 

Enfuce co-CEO and co-founder Denise Johansson said: “The only way to stop fraud and financial crime is through 100% commitment—anything less is not only ineffective, it means becoming part of the problem and allowing serious crimes to continue. That’s why we’re raising the bar higher than ever with the Fortitude Pledge. As global financial leaders, we have both the power and the responsibility to protect our communities – not just today but for generations to come- and we sincerely hope others will join us in our mission to create real change.” 

In September last year, Enfuce expanded its E2 card to the UK, France and Germany, in collaboration with Mastercard.
