Fraud
Detection
Filters
The Fraud
Detection
Suite
includes
multiple
filters and
tools that
work
together to
evaluate
transactions
for
indicators
of fraud.
Their
combined
logic
provides a
powerful and
highly
effective
defense
against
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.
Velocity
Filter
Limits the
total
number of
transactions
received
per hour,
preventing
high-volume
attacks
common
with
fraudulent
transactions.
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
Detects
highly
suspicious
transactions
using
proprietary
identification
criteria
and
transaction
behavior
analysis.

submitting
Advanced
Integration
