Advanced Fraud Detection Suite

Hackers and fraudsters are becoming more sophisticated and skillful at manipulating Internet protocols, Web languages and infrastructures to discover any weakness they can exploit. Thousands of Web merchants experience suspicious transaction activity and other types of account abuse each day - and it can happen to you.

Standard verification tools such as the Address Verification System (AVS) and Card Code Verification, though essential, are limited as to the level of protection they can provide. Advanced solutions, such as the Advanced Fraud Detection Suite (AFDS) are needed to protect merchants from the constantly evolving problem posed by fraud.

The Advanced Fraud Detection Suite includes the following powerful filters, tools and other functionality that can prevent costly authorization and chargeback fees, and the possible loss of inventory that often result from fraudulent transactions.

  • Amount Filter - Allows merchants to set lower and upper transaction amount thresholds, restricting high-risk transactions often used to "test" the validity of credit card numbers.
  • Hourly Velocity Filter - Limits the total number of transactions received per hour, preventing high-volume attacks common with fraudulent transactions.
  • Suspicious Transaction Filter - Detects highly suspicious transactions using proprietary identification criteria and transaction behavior analysis.
  • Shipping-Billing Mismatch Filter - Identifies high-risk transactions with different shipping and billing addresses, potentially indicating purchases made using a stolen credit card.
  • Transaction IP Velocity Filter - Identifies excessive transactions received from the same IP address per hour, isolating suspicious activity from a single source.
  • Suspicious Transaction Filter - Reviews highly suspicious transactions using proprietary criteria.
  • Authorized AIM IP Addresses - Allows merchants that submit Advanced Integration Method (AIM) transactions exclusively to establish a list of IP addresses that are authorized to submit transactions for their account.
  • IP Address Blocking - Allows merchants to block transactions from certain IP addresses.
  • Enhanced AVS Handling Filter - Customize how to handle transactions that return Address Verification Service (AVS) mismatch codes, including the ability to decline or hold transactions for manual review.
  • Enhanced CCV Handling Filter - Like the AVS Filter, customize how to handle transactions that return CCV response codes, including the ability to decline or hold transactions for manual review.
  • Shipping Address Verification Filter - Verify that the shipping address received with an order is a valid postal address.
  • IP-Shipping Address Mismatch Filter - Compare the shipping address provided with an order to the IP address of where the order originated from. This helps to determine whether or not the order is shipping to the country from which it originated.
  • Regional IP Address Filter - Flag orders coming from specific regions or countries. The filter actions can be customized based on an entire geographic area or a country.

Note: The Advanced Fraud Detection Suite only screens credit card transactions processed from merchant's online store. It doesn't work with the credit card transactions entered manually via the Virtual Terminal or batch upload transactions since those originate from the merchant.
