FRAUD DETECTION AT KOUNT
How fraud is detected and prevented
The key to fraud prevention is data — collecting data, evaluating fraud patterns, and using data to drive decisions. You choose how much decisioning is automated, and the technology does the rest.
An interaction is detected.
A user initiates an interaction with your business such as creating an account, entering payment information, or logging into an existing account.
Data is collected.
The technology collects data about the user, such as personal information, device ID, and location.
A risk score is calculated.
The technology analyzes the data in real time, compares it to billions of data points across a global network, and assigns the interaction a risk score.
Policies are consulted.
The technology evaluates data collected from the user against your business policies and risk thresholds.
The interaction is accepted, blocked, or challenged.
Within milliseconds, the technology makes a decision and automatically accepts, blocks, or challenges the interaction.
Fraudulent activities are prevented.
The technology stops fraud — debit and credit card fraud, account takeover attacks, bot activity, and more.

WHAT MAKES KOUNT SPECIAL
Added value achieves better results
Why choose Kount for fraud detection and prevention? Here’s what sets us apart.
Complete strategy
No matter the types of fraud — from common concerns like payment card fraud to complex issues like account takeover — Kount has you covered with an end-to-end strategy. And it's all available in an easy-to-access platform.
Historical data
Kount was one of the first fraud management companies to enter the market. That means we have 15 years worth of data — a decade more than other service providers. A longer history means Kount has the best understanding of risk.
Better results
Kount gives you the most accurate risk assessments possible with better fraud prevention and fewer false positives. Plus, you get full access to decision data analytics, so you have complete transparency on what is happening and why.
Machine learning
Some fraud companies claim to incorporate supervised machine learning — the most basic capability — into their platform. But Kount utilizes both supervised and unsupervised learning. By combining multiple machine learning models, Kount has greater insights which lead to the most accurate decisions.
Flexible automation
Kount is a best-in-class technology platform that can reduce time-consuming, labor-intensive, error-prone processes. But automation doesn’t blindly dictate how your business should be run. You have full control over how decisions are made and the level of risk you are willing to accept.
Unmatched expertise
The Kount team is made up of professionals with dozens of years’ experience. We know what it takes to stop criminals from committing fraud. And we will readily share those insights with you. Our goal is to help clients continuously improve results by fine tuning their strategy as threats evolve over time.

Because of these integrations, our fraud decisioning results can usually be displayed directly in the platform dashboard. This makes it easy to monitor all your most relevant payment information in one place.
If you ever change ecommerce platforms or want to upgrade to Kount’s more robust solutions, our team of experts will make the transition as simple as possible. Our technology is flexible and designed to work with your existing processes, resources, and abilities — whatever those may be!
Kount can work with any processor or gateway. We don’t have a specific platform you have to use. And we can accommodate any setup you are currently using.
In addition to your processor or gateway, you may want to connect Kount to other platforms too — like your customer relationship management (CRM) or order management system, ecommerce platform, website, or mobile app.
The data stored in these different platforms can help us make accurate risk assessments about the individuals interacting with your business. And there are a couple different ways Kount can integrate with these platforms.
- Your development team can use an application programming interface (API) to connect platforms to Kount.
- Your development team can connect your mobile app with a software development kit (SDK).
- You can launch Kount via an existing platform integration. We have already established connections to dozens of payment processors, gateways, CRMs, and ecommerce platforms.
We strive for complete flexibility. We want our technology to work with your existing processes, resources, and abilities. So there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to integration. We recommend you reach out to our team to learn more about what the integration process would look like for your business.

What our clients are saying
"The best thing about Kount is its versatility. Using counter functions, custom data fields, and a robust dataset — it's possible to customize fraud screening to your specific needs, targeting traffic that is truly high-risk."
Stuart W.

Client testimonials
Want to know how our fraud detection software could help you? Check out some of our case studies to see how our technology has helped businesses just like yours.
PetMeds
When PetMeds started experiencing more sophisticated fraud attacks, they knew they needed to update their internal fraud processes. Once they implemented Kount, they saw almost immediate results — fraud dropped dramatically the day after launching our solution.
Kount gives PetMeds peace of mind that all their transactions are protected. In turn, the business can grow confidently without worries of additional risk.
DisputeBee
As a small business, DisputeBee doesn’t have the time or resources to focus their efforts on fraud management. When the company started to grow, so did the amount of fraud they experienced. But they couldn’t keep up — which is why they came to Kount.
With Kount, DisputeBee can automate fraud prevention to whatever degree fits their needs. For them, that means automating every aspect of the process — giving them time back to focus on business growth.
Cineplanet
Everything Cineplanet does for the business is about giving their customers the best movie-going experience possible. As a leader in the industry, Cineplanet strives to constantly improve technologies and ecommerce operations.
With Kount, Cineplanet can achieve their mission of delivering extraordinary experiences to customers while ensuring the safety of their ecommerce platform.
Fetch Rewards
Before coming to Kount, Fetch Rewards struggled with promotion abuse and spent way too many hours trying conducting manual reviews to mitigate the issue. However, those hours of labor still couldn’t control the problem.
After implementing Kount, Fetch Rewards significantly reduced manual reviews and achieved record growth — all thanks to Kount’s fraud detection and prevention technology.
