Hence, we have an inbuilt risk engine and mechanism besides mandatory protocols & standards to stop fraud. Our risk mechanism ensures that each genuine transaction is processed. PayU has a multi-way triggering system to analyze risky transactions. Let’s find out more about it.
ML (Machine Learning) model
This model detects fraud in real-time. We have a regression-based model that gets continuously trained on transaction-level features. It sees the patterns on potential fraud data inputs based on the past behaviour of the business and learns from the matrices.
Real-time transaction monitoring
PayU has a real-time transaction monitoring process. It keeps track of every single transaction to avoid any fraud’s possibility. It notifies the fraudulent case in advance before settlements.
Risk categorization
PayU has a system in place to categorize businesses and regression runs on the behaviour transaction patterns for each business. If the system identifies any differences in the transaction concerning the line of business, spike, suspect IPs presence, or a suspicious transaction pattern, it prompts risk. Basis GMV’s spike percentage, the risk score is entered in model & transaction level is defined to monitor.
AML (Anti-Money Laundering) implementation
PayU has enhanced due diligence for pre-onboarding & post-onboarding businesses, cross-border & inland transactions with alert queue mechanisms, address verification service (AVS), MCC mappings, classification, and risk-based process-score.
Future of Online Fraud Prevention
While PayU has the best system to prevent fraud, online fraud issues will be a challenge in the days to come. We keep updating our system to mitigate risk completely at a granular level. It helps us in improving transaction monitoring with stringent AML solutions and unsupervised learning approaches. We feed this data to various ML models. If you are finding a payment solution for your business, we’re just a click away.
