Hospitality

Hotels are one of the most common targets of online credit card fraudsters. One of their modus operandi is to book an expensive room and subsequently cancel the booking. Since the credit card does not belong to them, refunding the amount in the credit card that was used does not yield any monetary rewards to the fraudsters. In order to profit from the fraudulent transaction, they request the hotel to refund the amount to an e-wallet or through other untraceable methods.

How ePayAlert can help

To address this kind of scenario, the parameters that ePayAlert constantly checks are:

  • Historical Negative Record Checking - the system can check the historical transaction data to block any card or IP address with negative records
  • Blacklist Control – checks whether the transaction came from a blacklisted card number, card bin, IP address, or email
  • Transaction Limit Checking – sets a daily/weekly/monthly processing limit in order to prevent abnormal buying behavior
  • Customizable Rules - ePayAlert can be customized in order to include new rules based on a clients specification
