How does it work?

In brief, customer’s billing, delivery and payment details are analysed using a rule-based system to detect suspicious patterns in user activity.

Our system will assist you in deciding on whether to process a customer’s transaction based on the perceived level of risk.

Checks performed include:

  • The industry’s largest negative database.
  • Neural-based fraud assessments.
  • Tumbling or Swapping,

  • where there is an unusual usage pattern in the card number, expiration date or customer details associated with a transaction.

    So what happens after the checks are performed?
    The Protect Plus system will analyse transaction details and issue a fraud control status such as “accept” meaning that the details are not deemed suspicious or “deny” meaning that the details are suspicious, and a transaction should not be performed.
