Take control, limit risk

You’re in the driver’s seat: Set high-level guardrails around merchant behavior, enforce mandates, and help protect your merchant portfolio from compromised cards and BINs. 
 

There are multiple ways to potentially limit risk:

  • Control what kinds of transactions individual merchants can perform
  • Block transactions based on card type and authentication status
  • Reject transactions on BIN ranges and cards to prevent fraud
  • Set disbursement limits and controls on payouts

Fast, simple automation

Partner Risk Controls run automatically with every authorization. There's no complex or time-consuming integration for you or your merchants.

Effective fraud prevention

Identifying compromised cards and BINs can help prevent card testing and transaction fraud across your merchant portfolio.

Suspicious transaction blocking

Pre-authorization filters block fraudulent transactions before they enter the payments ecosystem and incur fees.

Add merchant risk control to your fraud strategy

Successful acquirers will be those with best-in-class risk management processes, enabling them to gain market share in higher-margin merchant segments while keeping firm control of the risk exposure of their portfolios.
