Card Risk Checks

The below checks are made on all cards accepted through the Worldpay Business Manager.

Country IP Matched

This compares the country of the Customer IP Address against the Card Issuing Country.

For Mail Order Telephone Order (MOTO) transactions, the Country IP Matched check is not shown. This is because the computer used for MOTO transactions is always at your location.

3D Secure Matched

This shows the result of a 3D Secure cardholder authentication check. It is a service provided by Verified by Visa, MasterCard SecureCode for MasterCard and Maestro, and American Express SafeKey.

This service authenticates an existing password (agreed between the cardholder and the card issuer when the service was set up) entered by the customer during the transaction.

CV2 Matched

This shows the result of a card verification value check on the card used. The number held by the card issuer is compared with the number entered by the customer.

Address Matched and Postcode Matched

These results come from the Address Verification Service (AVS) checks. AVS looks at the numbers in the billing address and postcode that is supplied during a transaction, and the card issuer compares these numbers to its records.

Example:

If the address entered was "12 High Street, Town, TT1 1TT", the card issuer looks at the address "12" and the postcode "11" to see if it has the same digits on record for this card.

If the address and postcode both match, this shows the lowest risk. If the address and postcode both do not match, this shows the highest risk. A cross [ ] does not always mean a high risk however, because sometimes customers enter the wrong information by mistake (like the postcode in the address box), and you can see this when you look at the address details. When it looks like no mistake has been made, this should be investigated more, especially when other risk checks also do not match.

American Express Advanced Verification (AAV) Risk Checks

The three additional checks below are specific to American Express cards.

Email Address Matched

This checks that the email address supplied matches the email address stored on American Express records.

Phone No. Matched

This checks whether or not the phone number supplied matches the phone number stored on American Express records.

Cardholder Name Matched

This checks whether or not the cardholder name supplied matches the cardholder name stored on American Express records.

V.me by Visa Fraud Chargeback Liability Checks

This shows you whether or not you are protected from chargebacks relating to fraud, which depends on the cards used to pay through the V.me by Visa Wallet.

If you have changed your Risk Management Service settings to force 3D Secure on all cards used, you will be protected from fraud-related chargebacks on all cards. For more information see The Risk Management Service Guide.
