How does the fraud score work?

The outcome of fraud checks

As part of RevenueProtect, Adyen performs fraud checks on each transaction. The outcome of these checks is the fraud score.

• Pre-authorization checks are performed before the authorization takes place such as customer behavior and referral list checks. If pre-authorisation check(s) adds up to 100 or more, the transaction will receive resultCode: Refused with refusalReason: FRAUD.
• Post-authorization checks include data received by issuers, such as AVS data and CVC codes or liability shift. If pre-authorisation and post-authorization check(s) adds up to 100 or more, the transaction will receive resultCode: Cancelled with refusalReason: FRAUD-CANCELLED.
