Our technology and architecture uses use hundreds of different data sources to manage risk both and the portfolio and account level and to drive real-time decisions for transaction monitoring.

Tip

To minimize potential transaction risks, use the following criteria to monitor transactions from merchants in real-time:

  • Create a blocked list of suspected bad sign-ups as well as create an allowed list of the VIP, fully verified sellers, and ensure new merchants are cross reference -referenced against the list.

  • Analyze the risk by checking seller’s ID, performance, chargeback rates, suspicious behavior, abrupt changes in the activity, Credit Card AVS mismatch, Zip Code to address mismatch, etc.

  • Measure the risk periodically via KPI (Key Performance Indicators), which should include constantly monitor fraudulent cases and rates of Chargebacks and/or ACH returns.
