Emailage, a provider of online fraud prevention and email risk assessment, has expanded its global operations and bolster its APAC and EMEA teams.
After identifying APAC as a focus for growth, given the region’s rising rates of online fraud, the company has recently opened offices in Sydney and Singapore.
Through the expansion, Emailage said it will be able to support more businesses in a diverse range of global markets, while further bolstering its customer support and product development operations. As part of this, Carlos Testa has been selected as general manager of APAC. Testa previously headed the Emailage LATAM team.
In addition to building its presence in APAC, Emailage has also bolstered its EMEA operations by adding a number of new faces to the team in the region. Chris Thomas has been bought in as General Manager for EMEA having previously working a Experian, where he held the role of sales director EMEA, Fraud and ID.
During his four-year stint in that role he built a dedicated risk management business unit for the organization from the ground up. He brings over 20 years of experience in fraud prevention and business development, and will be integral to ensuring the ongoing success and growth of Emailage across the region according to RegTech.
Rei Carvalho, Emailage CEO, said: “As a business, we’re committed to building a unique solution that fights fraud to reduce organized crime globally, reduces costs, increases sales and accepts more good customers. Our achievements in this are being recognized by customers across the globe – we’re seeing particularly great results from our teams in US, EMEA and LATAM.
“Now we want to go even further. APAC, Canada and Mexico are largely underserved markets when it comes to fraud prevention. As a result, we’ve set our sights on providing our unique technology to support in the fight against fraud.”
Founded in 2012, Arizona-headquartered Emailage helps companies reduce these losses. Its predictive online fraud risk score allows companies to assess risk using email address reputation, behavior and metadata.

It claims to empower users to combine transaction risk assessment and online identity validation, with its aggregated scoring model utilising the email address as a foundation The solution is enhanced with other data elements designed to fight back against threats facing the financial industry. The company provides full identity validation based on email, phone, customer name, address and more, comprehensive risk assessment driven by holistic data points, and network intelligence, which provides an additional layer of protection, velocity tracking and monitoring new threats in real time.
