What differentiates Decision Manager?

Let machine learning discover new strategies

Rules Suggestion Engine applies Decision Manager's advanced machine learning models to your historical transaction data to spot unique patterns and recommend new strategies.

Perform a "what if?" analysis

With Decision Manager Replay, you can test the effect of fraud strategies against your historical transaction data in minutes—helping you gauge how things would play out in the real world.

How Decision Manager can help you

Decision Manager’s machine learning capabilities combine automated strategy suggestions with a “what if” testing environment. You can optimise your fraud strategy, then roll it out once you’ve defined the best approach for your business.

Automatically recognise good, bad, and new transactions 

Our Identity Behavior Analysis feature recognises identity usage behaviours to help increase your accept rates, lower your review rates, and boost your bottom line.

Five reasons to use Decision Manager pre-authorisation rules

With Decision Manager, you can run rules before authorisation to help reduce costs, capture revenue, and over time, help improve authorisation rates by filtering out risky transactions.

Learn about pre-authorisation rules

  • Save on authorisation fees: The pre-authorisation rejection rule can determine if the transaction is fraudulent and reject it, so you can avoid issuer authorisation fees.
  • Improve customer satisfaction: Avoid placing an unnecessary hold on a customer’s payment card.
  • Control authentication: You decide whether payer authentication is needed to continue to the authorisation.
  • PSD2 SCA exemptions: Check if exemptions are applicable and set business rules accordingly.
  • Increase authorisation rates: The pre-authorisation process will run machine learning models and merchant rules to help instill a higher degree of confidence in issuers and help lead to increased authorisation rates.
