Carrying out checks on shoppers whose billing country does not match the country in which the card was issued can help identify fraudsters. This particular result is shown on your email confirmation, and in the Merchant Interface and we advise implementing this as risk indicator in your managing fraud procedures.
The countries identified in the table below are considered high-risk as purchases originating from them have much higher incidences of fraud. To help you identify fraudsters, payments made by shoppers with IP (Internet Protocol) addresses in these countries are likely to be declined by our fraud screening tool (Risk Management service):
|

If you wish to remove any of the countries from your organisation's high-risk IP address list, please email fraud@worldpay.com with details.
If a shopper purchases their goods/services from, or requests delivery to one of the countries shown in the table below, we advise you carry out further manual checks before deciding to accept the transaction.
If you are having specific issues with fraud from one or more countries you can request to add more country restrictions to your Risk Management service. A country restriction can stop all future orders where at least one of the following shopper details matches your country criteria.
Billing country
Card issue country
IP country
This may only be requested as an anti-fraud measure; it must not be used as part of a business process, that is, to limit your orders to regions where you have shipping options available.
