What Are Ethoca Alerts?
Ethoca Alerts by Mastercard is a comprehensive fraud detection and prevention solution designed to provide merchants with real-time notifications of potentially fraudulent transactions. As a result, merchants can use Ethoca alerts to reduce chargebacks, minimize losses, and protect their customers from fraud.
Ethoca uses AI and data analytics to identify suspicious purchases and alert merchants of fraud before it’s passed the pre-dispute phase.
Ethoca is a collaborative tool to connect merchants, issuers, and acquirers to share dispute data, ultimately enabling merchants to have a faster dispute resolution process.
How Ethoca Alerts Work
Ethoca alerts are designed to detect when a customer enters a dispute. Let’s take a look at how Ethoca works.
When a consumer calls their bank to dispute a transaction, their issuing bank sends a confirmed fraud/dispute notice to Ethoca in real time. That Ethoca alert will instantly be sent to the merchant through CB-ALERTS proprietary chargeback dispute management platform.
CB-ALERT will then mark the transaction as fraud and allow the merchant to stop the purchase fulfillment immediately and choose to refund the customer.
The dispute can be resolved at this stage, preventing inventory loss, shipping costs, and saving time invested in the chargeback process. In addition, merchants can then use this data to update their fraud/dispute rules to prevent this type of future fraud from occurring.
