Our primary use case for ACI Fraud Management is the detection and prevention of payment fraud. We work with a company that is a partner with ACI, and we use this solution integrated with a switching platform to detect card fraud. We can set up diverse rules, and it also has the capability for machine learning and other functionalities.
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The primary value of ACI Fraud Management lies in its capability for detection and prevention of card fraud around payments. Users can set diverse rules, leading to automatic declines of transactions that violate these rules.
Additionally, the presence of a Fraud Desk allows for further analysis of suspicious transactions. Its real-time detection feature ensures transactions violating preset rules are automatically declined, adding another layer of security. The solution's API integration capabilities also facilitate use across multiple channels, including mobile transactions, enhancing its versatility.
What needs improvement?
There is room for improvement in the acceleration of its artificial intelligence capabilities. Artificial intelligence could enhance fraud detection without the need to manually set rules. Greater focus should be on machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities, allowing the system to learn through existing rules and train itself to develop self-detection capabilities. Currently, the machine learning feature requires extensive usage before activation, which hinders its effectiveness.
