Spreedly to acquire Dodgeball.

Spreedly, an open payments platform, agreed to acquire Dodgeball, a modern fraud orchestration company. Financial terms were not disclosed. "For most merchants, payments and fraud aren't separate challenges—they're two sides of the same coin. You can't optimize payments without addressing fraud, and you can't fight fraud without understanding the payment flow. This acquisition brings these critical functions together, allowing us to deliver immense value to our customers and accelerate our vision for an AI-powered, open payments future," Justin Benson, Spreedly CEO.
