Risk Management Systems

An extensive portfolio of advanced risk-management technologies provides the second level of protection in CO-OP's three-tiered debit fraud protection system. This suite of tools uses specific cardholder data to perform validation and edit checks during the authorization process.

  • Falcon™ Fraud Manager—the industry-leading neural network fraud detection system performs real-time evaluations before authorizations occur, dramatically reducing your fraud losses.
  • Name Match—protects against identity theft, card skimming and counterfeiting protection by comparing the Track 1 names on incoming authorizations to names in the cardholder file on the CO-OP system.
  • PIN Validation—validates the PIN entered against the PIN offset stored in the card's magnetic strip.
  • CVV/CVC/CVI Authentication—prevents authorizations on "re-encoded" cards by validating the values encoded on the magnetic strip.
  • CVV2/CVC2 Authentication—provides merchants with additional safeguards against fraudulent online and telephone orders.
  • Daily Limits—verifies BIN level daily withdrawal limits.
  • Internet Cardholder Identity Verification—protects online transactions using Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode.
  • PIN Change—lets cardholders choose their own PINs without compromising security.
  • Address Verification—matches the billing address provided by a consumer to the address in the cardholder account file.
  • Exact Expiration Date Match—ensures expiration dates embossed and encoded on cards exactly match dates in cardholder files.
  • Positive Balance Match—checks availability of funds against transaction requests when balances are provided with cardholder file.
  • Daily Authorization Limits—minimizes fraudulent "binge spending" by letting you implement limits on velocity and daily withdrawal for different card types and programs at the BIN level.
  • Card Activation—protects your members from fraudulent use of non-received cards.
  • MasterCard Risk Finder—this MasterCard neural network product assigns risk scores that alert you to potentially fraudulent transactions.
