Event assessment · Demonstration

One event.
Different checks.

See how rule conditions change the result. The example compares amount and PIN confirmation, and transaction frequency for a fictional card.

Illustrative data and settings: amount threshold 100,000 and 10 transactions per 60 seconds. This explains logic, using neither real transactions nor universal service limits.

Amount without PINOver 100,000
Card frequencyMore than 10 per 60 s
EXAMPLE RESULTNo rule matches

In this example, the amount is below the threshold, PIN is confirmed and frequency is within the limit.

Questions answered

Architecture,
rules and integration.

Key questions before designing an anti-fraud service.

What does Anti-fraud assess?+

The service analyses financial events against predefined rules and returns a transaction trust verdict. It can also identify a reason to decline the transaction.

Which payment channels are supported?+

The product page lists POS terminals, ATMs, e-commerce and QR payments. Data scope and connection method are defined during integration.

Where can the service be deployed?+

On-premise or Cloud-based. The first runs in the customer's environment. The second runs on the provider's servers, with API integration.

Is pre-processing required?+

Anti-fraud can connect through pre-processing or directly to bank processing. Both options are available for On-premise and Cloud-based deployment.

Can we change and add rules?+

Yes. A qualified anti-fraud analyst can adapt rules to project requirements. Custom rules can be added using embedded Lua alongside the built-in set.

Do built-in limits apply to every transaction?+

The figures illustrate rule conditions rather than universal transaction requirements. Currency, thresholds, exceptions and applicability depend on project configuration.

How do we start without a specification?+

Describe the current infrastructure, payment channels and intended outcome. MST specialists can help define a specification, select configuration and scope service adaptations.
