 Solution

 

Sonar

Sonar analyzes millions of card transactions daily to proactively detect compromised merchants and identify an issuer’s at-risk cards. Sonar’s Fraud Forecast™ score assesses each card’s total exposure from all breached merchants to determine the probability that it will become fraudulent in the next 90 days — equipping issuers with a strategic action plan to meet their fraud loss and reissuance targets while minimizing customer impact.
  • More profitable loan portfolio growth
  • Increased cross sale penetration
  • Increased new relationship acquisition 

Key Features

  • Detects Compromised Accounts Faster: Identifies CPP faster than MasterCard and Visa CAMS alerts with daily updates. Detects big and small compromised merchants that MC and Visa overlook. Sonar analytics calculate the impact of each breach on the bank and its card holders
  • Automatically IDs Compromised Cards: Identifies and associates the compromised cards with the breached merchant, and predicts which cards will turn fraudulent in the next 90 days
  • Automates and Optimizes the Reissuance Process: Eliminates manual processes and stops reissuance of cards unlikely to turn fraudulent. Reduces fraud losses, saves reissuance costs, and increases transactions and customer satisfaction

Rippleshot

Card fraud shouldn’t be something banks have to shoulder alone. It’s complex, labor intensive and ever-changing as fraudsters’ techniques get faster and more sophisticated. It’s certainly harder when on your own. To help banks proactively detect and fight fraud, Rippleshot created Fraud Forecast™ to empower issuers to optimize their reissuance process, via its flagship product, Sonar. This collaborative tool helps banks fight fraud with data and the power of machine learning.
 
With over 40 years of experience identifying and mitigating card fraud, Rippleshot saw the problem grow from a transaction-level headache to a weekly news headline. In 2013, Rippleshot took a big-data machine learning approach that is familiar in advertising and search industries, and applied it in a novel way for the payment processing industry. This approach helps banks, merchants, and processors proactively monitor, detect and stop suspicious fraudulent activity, and implement smarter fraud risk management and reissuance strategies when card compromises do occur.
 

 
 

 Benefits

 

Banks employing Sonar rules have seen up to a 400% lift in the amount of fraud captured while lowering false positives.​

  • Faster CPP identification. Sonar's common point of purchase (CPP) identification is faster than any traditional method of detection on the market today. In the case of Home Depot, Sonar detected the breach more than 100 days before the public announcement.
  • Facilitates better use of resources. Bankers spend significantly less time tracking down CPPs. Resources can be more effectively allocated toward fraud mitigation.
  • Enhances bank profitability. Sonar's built-in functionality provides smart rule suggestions for your portfolio to help you capture more fraud while keeping customers happily spending.
