BNPL fraud prevention for BNPL providers, e-commerce businesses
BNPL providers can give merchants confidence in BNPL transactions with customizable solutions that mitigate fraud risks, save inventory, reduce chargebacks, and resolve friendly fraud disputes.
Get started
What is BNPL fraud prevention?
A buy now, pay later (BNPL) fraud prevention solution can reduce the fraud risks associated with BNPL transactions. BNPL transactions are prime targets for criminal and friendly fraud. Bad actors may use BNPL options to carry out card testing attacks.
Meanwhile, consumers may forget recurring payments or engage in more BNPL transactions than they can handle, increasing friendly fraud and accidental chargebacks. So as more merchants consider offering BNPL options, they’ll want to ensure they’re not taking on additional CNP payment risks.
Benefits of BNPL fraud prevention
Help your merchants identify good customers for BNPL and recurring payment options and prevent inventory loss of high-value items.
Reduce card testing and other fraud risks for new BNPL transactions and anytime customers change payment methods.
Relay compelling evidence with dispute management tools that resolve friendly fraud disputes that lead to chargebacks.
Expand revenue opportunities using billions of additional data points to help merchants extend BNPL options to more customers.
Customize fraud policies to automate approve and decline decisions to virtually eliminate manual reviews.
How BNPL fraud prevention works
BNPL fraud prevention uses advanced AI, machine learning, and a global data network to establish the level of risk or trust behind new BNPL transactions. For example, Kount’s Identify fraud solutions combine digital and physical identity elements (like payment methods and credit histories) to create comprehensive customer personas.
With a complete persona, merchants offering BNPL can use Kount’s Assess solutions to analyze risk factors for each new transaction or change in payment method. In addition, BNPL fraud prevention evaluates risk factors like fraudulent payments and associated chargebacks. The combination of BNPL fraud tools helped one provider reduce chargebacks by 88% within months.
New requirements change friendly fraud dispute resolution
BNPL exposes merchants to friendly fraud risks if customers don’t understand billing descriptors or forget about recurring payments. To help merchants resolve these disputes, Visa announced changes to its compelling evidence requirements.
