Abstract:
Exemplary embodiments for detecting electronic payment card fraud include receiving real-time payment card transaction data from ingress channels and an egress channels of at least one payment card system through a first application programming interface (API); generating transactional profiles for each of at least payment cards, the ingress channel, the egress channels, and funding sources of the payment cards; in response to receiving transaction data for a current payment card transaction, evaluating the transaction data using a predictive algorithm that compare the transaction data to the transactional profiles to calculate a probabilistic fraud score for the current transaction; evaluating the probabilistic fraud score and the current transaction data based on a set of rules to generate a recommendation to approve, decline or review the current transaction; and transmitting the recommendation back to the payment card system via a second API.
