ASx Enhanced Authorization

ASx supports rules-based pre and post-authorization checking. ASx allows rules to be defined explicitly via its user interface or for rules to be fed in from an external fraud management solution. The scope of effect for any rule can be applied to individual cards, accounts, card product types, bin ranges and general multi-card groupings.

The rule checks can be constructed from any of the following:

  Transaction type   Merchant category
  Merchant location   Transaction frequency (velocity)
  Transaction amounts   Country of origin
  POS condition code   EMV information analysis

When a transaction is trapped by a rule applied in pre-authorization mode, a configurable return code is passed back to the initiating network or device. The transaction return code can include the usual decline, refer to issuer and capture card. Additionally, alerts can be made and reports made to show the transaction activity.

When a transaction is trapped by a post authorization rule, various actions can be configured to occur including initiation of new pre-authorization checks from that point onwards and posting of the transaction history to an external fraud management solution.

External Fraud Management

ASx provides an interface that enables external fraud management solutions to be integrated with ASx. An example of such a system would be Falcon by FairIsaac. The ASx interface allows "scorings" to be sent to ASx, which are then used as a basis for future transaction authorization. ASx is capable of passing transactions to an online fraud management solution for verification should a transaction be trapped by any of the processing rules applied from the configuration.
