Monitor merchant onboarding and transactional behavior to proactively identify anomalous chargeback and bust-out activity. Online merchant acquisition has become an increasingly precarious business putting high demand on approving merchants in real time. Featurespace has years of experience as a technology partner to merchants and acquirers to combat the sophisticated fraud schemes used to commit Merchant Acquiring Fraud.

Outsmart risk and identify issues before they arise

Historically, legacy systems have undertaken merchant acquiring and transaction monitoring at a summary level. ARIC Risk Hub instead analyzes and risk scores every individual transaction in real time – stopping more fraud with fewer alerts. The result is minimal negative impact to your genuine merchants and higher payment conversion with reduced risk. ARIC Risk Hub combines the power of Adaptive Behavioral Analytics and real-time machine learning to truly understand ‘good’ behavior. By combining transactional event and merchant information with behavioral data, Featurespace customers are able to monitor and identify merchant risk for even the most complex types of fraud such as transactional laundering, scheme breach and merchant bust out.

Mega Multi-tenancy capability

Multi-tenancy enables businesses to service everyone from small customers to a large enterprise. Its architecture allows a single instance of a software application to service multiple customers or tenants.

Easy Onboarding of Clients

Instead of having to update every instance of ARIC across a large number of servers, multi-tenancy enables easy roll out of updates from a central application.

Analytics Configuration Groups

With multi-tenancy you can provide specific analytics for a group of tenants while maintaining an underlying service which remains constant for all tenants.

Segregation of Data

Segregate data according to business and security rules – ensure that tenants do not see the data of other tenants.
