Forter Wins Global McDonald’s Mandate to Power Secure Digital Payments and Fraud Prevention

New updates have been reported about Forter.

Forter has secured a global partnership with McDonald’s to provide fraud prevention and identity solutions across the fast-food giant’s expanding digital ecosystem, marking a significant commercial and strategic win for the private fraud-prevention platform. The agreement positions Forter at the core of McDonald’s online ordering, payments, and loyalty interactions, with its AI-driven Trust Platform making real-time decisions on transaction legitimacy to balance fraud risk reduction with frictionless customer experiences worldwide. For Forter, the McDonald’s mandate validates its strategy of embedding deeply into large-scale consumer platforms and extends its footprint in the quick service restaurant (QSR) sector, where high transaction volume, low ticket size, and rising digital channels create complex fraud and trust challenges that demand automated, high-accuracy decisioning.

Executives from both companies framed the deal as essential to sustaining growth in digital commerce while containing emerging fraud risks, with Forter’s Chief Revenue Officer emphasizing that securing McDonald’s digital experience turns trust into a competitive advantage, and McDonald’s treasury leadership highlighting the dual need to protect restaurants and franchisees while maintaining speed and convenience for customers. Forter will leverage data from its global network of more than 400,000 online businesses and over two billion shoppers to inform its risk models, giving McDonald’s access to scaled, cross-merchant intelligence that is difficult to replicate in-house and that can improve approval rates on legitimate transactions. While financial terms were not disclosed, the scope and global nature of the deployment suggest recurring, high-value enterprise revenues for Forter, reinforce its positioning against competing fraud platforms, and potentially open further opportunities in foodservice and adjacent retail verticals as digital ordering and loyalty programs continue to grow.
