What you get
Card intelligence on every payment, with nothing to build.
On every payment
Each card payment is enriched before it is routed. There is nothing to call and nothing to store.
Rules that match on the card
Routing rules can match on country, BIN range, brand and card type, alongside currency and amount.
Fraud signals up front
Prepaid, commercial and country flags reach the antifraud engine before the card is charged.
Country mismatch
Compare the card's issuing country with the customer's IP country and act on the difference.
Credit, debit and prepaid
Treat debit, credit, prepaid and commercial cards differently, from surcharges to subscriptions.
