How Payment Guarantee Works
See exactly how Vesta detects fraud, approves more transactions, and guarantees that you stay fraud free.
STEP ONE
Transaction
When a customer checks out, the relevant details about the purchase are sent to Vesta. This is passed via an open API framework that works with a wide range of shopping cart plugins and sends key data sets to the decisioning engine for analysis.
Evaluation Information Includes
- The order information
- Payment information
- Card holder details
- Session key with behavior attributes and device information
STEP TWO
Analysis
Once the transaction data is in the decisioning engine, supervised and unsupervised machine learning models built on two trillion data points evaluate the transaction and determine risk. Each component is evaluated using velocity checks, white and black lists, and stepwise regression.
Evaluation Information Includes
- Phone numbers
- Addresses
- Device Information
- Geolocation
- Zip Codes
- Over 292 million credit card numbers
- And more
STEP THREE
Deep Learning
Over time, Vesta collects more and more indicators of chargeback fraud—adding to, and refining, a collection of over 25 years of intelligence. Over time, this data increases accuracy, and improves machine learning models.
STEP FOUR
Model Selection
During analysis, the decisioning engine may self-select a different model to use in an effort to gain better risk profiling. Once everything is analyzed, the profiles are then tabulated for a final risk score.
STEP FIVE
Response
A risk decision of approved, denied, or pending is sent back to the Vesta customer along with the risk decision reason. Any transaction that is marked as “approve” gives you the peace of mind that the transaction will not be fraudulent, and is covered by a 100% fraud chargeback guarantee.
