Abstract: Systems and methods for evaluating electronic value transfers. Various of the methods include graduating a defined affinity between transactions to increasing levels of scrutiny. At an increased level of scrutiny, reports can be generated indicating suspicious activity and/or interdiction procedures can be implemented to reduce the occurrence of the detected suspicious activity. Various of the systems are tailored to implement the aforementioned methods.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for assessing a security risk for a merchant entity having connectivity to a shared network. Information describing characteristics of the merchant entity are received from the merchant entity. A determination is made which test requirements of a security test scheme are to be used in assessing the security risk for the merchant entity. The security test scheme includes a set of test requirements whose satisfaction by the merchant entity is sufficient to ensure compliance with a multiple sets of security requirements defined by multiple payment-processing organizations. The security test scheme is executed with a security compliance authority server in accordance with the determined test requirements.

Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for scoring a match between applicant data provided by a client and data stored in a fraud database. The system includes a merchant application having a unique identifier portion, a non-unique identifier portion, and a reference portion, a processor having access to the merchant information for calculating a first match score based on a match occurring in the non-unique identifier portion, a second match score based on a match occurring in the unique identifier portion, and a third match score based on a match occurring in the reference portion, and wherein the processor sums the first, second, and third match scores to arrive at a total match score to determine whether the total match score has exceeded a predefined match score. If the predefined match score is exceed then an alert is sent to the client informing the client that a fraud match with a high degree of reliability has occurred.
