Case File
Fintech / Lending
Meridian Lending is a (fictional) online consumer lender. The same outlaws show up across its application funnel and compliance program. Here is how Cloudflare brings each one in.
Fictional company · real Cloudflare demos
Cloudflare Turnstile
The threat: Loan-application forms draw bots, synthetic applicants, and card-testing. Legacy CAPTCHAs pile on friction right where revenue is won or lost.
The fix: Turnstile verifies applicants invisibly, screening automated abuse without a puzzle wall on the application.
So what: More completed applications and fewer fraudulent signups in the funnel.

Cloudflare D1
The threat: Borrower PII is governed by state and regional rules, and EU borrowers fall under GDPR, but most apps cannot prove where a record was written.
The fix: Edge logic routes and stores each borrower record in its own jurisdiction, making residency provable.
So what: Provable data residency for regulators and auditors, with no application rewrite.

Cloudflare AI Search
The threat: Bank partners and enterprise clients run heavy due diligence: SOC 2, PCI, and GLBA questionnaires that stall onboarding for weeks.
The fix: A grounded trust assistant answers security and compliance questions from real documents, with citations, and declines when the answer is not on file.
So what: Faster partner and bank due diligence, with far less manual questionnaire work.

Cloudflare Workers
The threat: Published rate sheets and APR content get scraped by competitors and AI crawlers for pricing intelligence.
The fix: A Worker identifies crawlers at the edge and can meter, license, or block them.
So what: Control over who harvests your pricing, instead of leaking it for free.

Cloudflare Rate Limiting
The threat: Loan-application and login endpoints draw credential-stuffing and card-testing bots that flood the funnel.
The fix: Cloudflare's Rate Limiting throttles the flood at the edge, before it reaches origin or burns compute.
So what: Cut automated abuse on the application funnel without touching app code.
