Fraud Costs More Than You Think

LexisNexis study shows that every $100 lost to fraud actually costs you $300. (1)
Besides fines, fees, and the face value of fraudulent transactions, you need to account for the cost and effort of stolen merchandise.
But fraud doesn’t just eat into your profits — it ruins your reputation, undermines customer trust, and reduces your conversion rates.
Online retailers in particular need to be on alert as they face 40% more fraud than brick-and-mortar stores.

FAQs

How does the chargeback process work?

When a customer disputes a charge, they contact their bank or credit card issuer, which then initiates an investigation. If the bank rules in favor of the customer, the transaction is reversed, and you lose revenue from that sale. You will have a limited window, usually within 30-45 days, to either accept the chargeback or challenge it through a process called representment, where you must provide evidence that the transaction was valid.

What are the most common types of chargeback fraud?

Common types include false claims of non-receipt (where a customer denies receiving the product), unauthorized credit card use, and false claims of defective or damaged merchandise. Those are often labeled as items not received or not as described. Both of these can occur through real fraud or “friendly fraud,” where the customer disputes a legitimate purchase for personal gain.

What is the difference between first-party fraud and third-party fraud?

In first-party fraud, the legitimate cardholder makes false claims about a valid purchase. Third-party fraud occurs when someone unauthorizedly uses another person’s payment information.

What is triangulation fraud?

Triangulation fraud occurs when fraudsters create fake online stores to steal card information, then use that information to purchase products from legitimate merchants to ship to unsuspecting customers.

What records should I keep when challenging a chargeback?

You should maintain thorough records of all customer interactions, delivery confirmations, transaction details, and any correspondence to support your case in chargeback disputes.

What industries are best suited for FastoSafe?

FastoSafe is ideal for high-risk sectors such as adultgamblingCBD, and any business processing a significant number of online transactions.

What is the typical integration timeline for FastoSafe?

Most merchants see full integration within a few days, thanks to our seamless API-driven architecture that works with your existing payment systems.

What types of fraud does FastoSafe protect against?

We safeguard against a range of fraud types including identity theft, card-not-present fraud, account takeovers, friendly fraud, synthetic identity fraud, and fraudulent refund requests.

How does FastoSafe handle false positives in fraud detection?

Our advanced AI models minimize false positives by learning normal transaction patterns, ensuring that only truly suspicious transactions are flagged while keeping legitimate transactions smooth.

Does FastoSafe support mobile and international transactions?

Yes, our solution is built for all channels, including mobile commerce, and supports multiple currencies to seamlessly process international transactions.

What are chargeback alerts, and how do they work with Verifi and Ethoca?

Our system collects real-time chargeback alerts from both Verifi and Ethoca so you’re immediately notified of any potential disputes, allowing you to take proactive steps to prevent revenue loss.

What is Rapid Dispute Resolution (RDR), and how does it work?

RDR is a Visa initiative that automatically resolves select disputes within seconds based on rules you define, significantly reducing the time and effort required to manage chargebacks.

How do velocity checks help in fraud prevention?

Velocity checks monitor the frequency of specific activities within a set timeframe, such as multiple purchases using the same card or shipping address, to identify potentially fraudulent behavior.

How does device fingerprinting work?

Device fingerprinting collects unique identifiers from a customer’s device to track patterns and identify suspicious behavior across multiple transactions.

Is address mismatch a sign of fraud?

Address mismatches occur when billing and shipping addresses don’t match, which can indicate potential fraud but must be balanced against legitimate customer scenarios.

How does 3D Secure help prevent chargebacks?

3D Secure is a technology that authenticates purchasers before the transaction is completed, helping to prevent fraud chargebacks by verifying the cardholder’s identity.

What is the VAMP ratio, and why is it important?

The VAMP ratio is a key metric set by Visa that measures your chargeback performance. Staying within acceptable thresholds is critical to avoid penalties and ensure uninterrupted processing of Visa transactions.

What is a chargeback blacklist?

A chargeback blacklist is a database of customers, addresses, or cards associated with previous fraudulent activity or excessive chargebacks.

What are chargeback reason codes?

Reason codes are two-digit numbers assigned to each chargeback that correspond to the specific reason for the dispute. These codes help merchants understand why chargebacks are being filed.
