Walter Kipngeno

Walter Kipngeno is the Founder & CEO of Caspix. He has worked directly in fraud risk management and financial crime analytics at Kenyan financial institutions — covering card fraud, mobile money fraud, internet banking fraud, and internal fraud across high-volume transaction environments.

Caspix was built from a gap Walter observed while working in the sector: fraud detection tooling designed for East African banks needed to account for the specific fraud typologies, telco infrastructure, and regulatory context of this market. M-Pesa and Airtel Money channel fraud, SIM swap attacks, agent banking abuse, and insider risk patterns are central to the East African fraud landscape — and generic platforms built for other markets do not address them adequately.

He founded Caspix to build a fraud scoring and investigation platform grounded in those operational realities. The pre-authorization scoring architecture, live Safaricom and Airtel Kenya telco verification, and investigation workflows are direct products of working fraud cases at the institution level and understanding where existing tooling failed.

Walter combines fraud operations expertise with the technical depth to design and build production detection systems — scoring pipelines, ML classifiers, fraud network graph analysis, and investigation interfaces built for analysts who do not need database skills to do their jobs.

His goal is to give fraud operations teams at East African banks and microfinance institutions the detection and investigation infrastructure they need to run secure digital channels without expanding their fraud exposure.
