The Challenge

Scaling Beyond Traditional Fraud Prevention Limits

As this leading African payments company expanded its digital payment services across the continent, it faced an escalating fraud landscape that its existing prevention system couldn't match. Their previous solution struggled with restricted transaction data, fragmented sources, and an overwhelmed fraud team unable to scale beyond card payments.

The system lacked flexibility to adapt to evolving fraud patterns, including cyber incidents, account takeovers, merchant-initiated fraud, and chargeback abuse. Beyond fraud prevention, it needed to streamline processes through intelligent risk bucketing and automation to improve operational efficiency.

Intelligent Risk Bucketing

Advanced AI/ML models assign highly accurate risk scores, enabling automated approval of very low-risk transactions while flagging high-risk activities for immediate review and cancellation.

Advanced Analytics and Reporting

The platform's customizable dashboards and reporting capabilities provided the fraud team with unprecedented visibility, enabling data-driven strategies to combat sophisticated attack vectors targeting their merchant portfolio and payment channels.

Real-Time Transaction Intelligence

Fraudnet deployed a tailored solution leveraging machine learning risk scoring models and fraud rules to enable intelligent, real-time transaction decisioning, enabling the client to review high-risk payments, automatically approve low-risk transactions, and monitor evolving fraud trends.
