Expert Fraud Checking

24/7 Double-Check Antifraud Systems - Proprietary anti-fraud filters are an important component of Avangate. Information given by the buyer along with his behavior during payment are analyzed by intelligent algorithms, resulting in a final fraud score.

Elements like history of buyer's data, ordered products, amounts spent, time spent in the payment interfaces, issuing bank (along with geographical address of the buyer and IP), delivery address, and other undisclosed elements are taken into account. For high fraud risk orders, Avangate specialists apply specific manual screening procedures.
