AUTHORIZATION OPTIMIZATION WITH KOUNT
How authorization optimization works
We provide the data. You build that data into your authorization process. Together, more orders are approved.

An authorization request is sent to the issuing bank.
When the authorization request is received, the issuing bank consults Kount’s database — which provides additional details about the transaction.
A decision is made.
The issuing bank makes a final decision to approve or decline the payment. With greater insights, the bank can approve more transactions with less risk.
Approval rates increase.
The more transaction details issuing banks have, the more informed their decisions are. In turn, more orders get approved and fewer false positives happen.
WHY AUTHORIZATION OPTIMIZATION MATTERS
Benefits you can’t afford to miss
Does your current authorization process only check for the basics like an expired card and the account balance? See what happens if you just meet the bare minimum for payment processing.
