FRAUD · RISK MANAGEMENT

Convert more, with the security your business needs with the security your business needs.

AI‑powered fraud prevention, 3DS 2.2 authentication and chargeback management all integrated in Kushki's payments platform.

THE CONTEXT

Three challenges that affect the profitability of every transaction

Fraud that blocks legitimate approvals

Overly rigid prevention systems generate false positives legitimate transactions declined, turning into lost revenue.

Chargebacks without effective defense

When a chargeback arrives, most merchants lack organized evidence and sufficient response times to defend themselves before the card networks.

Fraud that scales undetected

Fraud patterns evolve constantly. Systems with static rules cannot adapt to real business behavior or detect new anomalies.

PREVENTION

An engine that adapts to your business, not the other way around

Fraud prevention is not just about blocking transactions. It's about optimizing approval of legitimate transactions while containing risk.

Dynamic and intelligent engine

Unlike systems with fixed thresholds, Kushki's engine uses dynamic averages calculated over the last 120 days of merchant behavior or over the MCC for new merchants to adapt organically to each business.

24/7 monitoring and automated response

When atypical patterns arise, the system acts automatically applying additional friction or adding to control lists without manual intervention, even outside business hours.

3DS 2.2 configurable by risk profile

Kushki does not impose a rigid 3DS 2.2 flow. Authentication can be configured by amount, transaction type, BIN risk or atypical behaviors balancing security and user experience on every transaction.

CHARGEBACKS

From chargeback as a loss to chargeback as a managed process

Kushki provides the tools, artificial intelligence and operational support to defend merchant revenue when a chargeback occurs.

Query statuses, get charts and follow up on chargeback cases through a conversational interface integrated directly to the database available 24/7.

Defense with a specialized team

Chargebacks API

Integrate chargeback tracking directly with your internal systems (ERP/CRM). Access real‑time statuses, historical records and fraud metrics without relying on the console front end.
