MasterCard has unveiled a fraud detection tool
for online transaction that works in real-time.

The tool is called Expert Monitoring Fraud
Scoring for Merchants and MasterCard said it improves merchants’
view of customer behaviour “behaviour beyond a merchant’s website
or a cardholder’s shopping cart”.

MasterCard said that, based on tests that it
has run, merchants could cut down fraud losses by between 15-30%,
“simply by reviewing or automatically declining transactions deemed
as high-risk by the using the new tool”.

The tool helps merchants calculate a fraud
score by considering a longer span of transaction history than in
card present transactions.

“Our new tool allows acquirers and their
participating merchants to look at the potential for fraud in a
transaction in real time, and integrate the data into any existing
fraud detection solution. This helps increase accuracy in fraud
detection, and helps to reduce the bottom-line impact of fraud,”
said   Johan Gerber, group head, global network products
for MasterCard Worldwide.

The tool targets fraud on US-issued cards.
