What is CyberSource Decision Manager?

Decision Manager is a fraud management and prevention platform that helps online businesses make more accurate decisions about which orders they should accept or reject. Decision Manager includes the world's largest fraud detection radar. This allows merchants to have their orders analyzed and compared to more than 60 billion transactions that Visa and CyberSource process annually. This way, online merchants in Peru will have the possibility to make swift and accurate decisions when faced with suspicious orders. Also, the portal is equipped with advanced technology in fraud management and prevention, such as device identification (Device Fingerprint) and IPs geo localization, among others.

How does CyberSource online fraud management tool work?

Each order that CyberSource receives is tested by up to 260 different variables and, depending on the results, online merchants in Peru will be recommended that they accept or reject the order, or submit it for further additional review. All this takes approximately two seconds, and it is completely transparent to the customer. Apart from reducing the amount of orders for manual review, Decision Manager accurately identifies those fraudulent operations and helps to convert a higher amount of online sales.
