Founded in 2025 by veterans of Ethoca and NuData Security, Tuhk has built a distributed platform that turns fragmented, siloed payment data into a unified intelligence network. The system enables secure, real-time collaboration among merchants, banks, and other service providers, helping users proactively neutralize fraud, maximise transaction approvals, reduce chargebacks, and streamline dispute resolution. Targeting the US$10.5 trillion global cybercrime threat, the company positions collaboration as the key to stopping fraud before it occurs. With the newly raised seed capital, Tuhk plans an imminent launch in the UK, US, and Canada and will deepen integrations with existing financial systems. Future expansion is expected to take the platform global, widening its stakeholder network and strengthening risk decisioning across the payments ecosystem. The US$6 million seed round constitutes the firm’s first disclosed external funding and provides both capital and strategic guidance from leading financial institutions.
