PIN by Callback and PIN by SMS

Blacklist check

The blacklist check queries our internal database to see if the buyer is already blacklisted in our system. In case a fraud is being attempted, the transaction will be blocked, the incident recorded and both the merchant and the identity theft victim will be notified about any data misuse.

E-Mail validation

E-mail addresses are validated based on whether it complies with RFC 822 specifications. We will not be able to verify the delivery status of an email address though. If a customer demands, we have the option to set filters to block out spam domains.

Debt collection check

This check declines transaction from buyers with pending claims listed in our debt collection database. Also this check validates the buyer against all debt collection entries from the entire customer base of Novalnet.

Luhn check

Credit cards use Luhn algorithm (also known as modulus 10 or mod 10 algorithm), to distinguish valid numbers from mistyped or otherwise incorrect numbers. Using this algorithm, we validate credit card numbers (ranges between 13 and 19) to protect against accidental and/or human errors. CVC codes are also checked before sending card details for authorization

Double booking blockade

Prevents unintentional duplicate registrations and transactions from the same buyer, eliminating additional expenses through double bookings and resulting refunds chargebacks/return debits costs. This check matches names, email addresses and bank or credit card details. Duration of the block can be set in seconds (recommended time frame is 60 seconds) as required by the customers.

Subscription check

This check prevents duplicate subscriptions by verifying whether an active subscription already exist by matching user’s first name, family name, e-mail address and bank or credit card data.

Session check

The session check verifies if any successful transaction has been made during the active session. If a successful transaction has been processed, then there will not be any further transactions allowed with the same session.

IP blockade

This modules blocks IP addresses after a set number of invalid attempts of buyer within a set timeframe, defined by customer at Novalnet backend. (number of attempts could be 3 and timeframe could be from 30 minutes to a maximum of 24 hours). Even if a fraudulent buyer attempts transactions using different payment data, the customer is protected with the help of the many fraud prevention modules activated.

Limit check

Limit check allows customers to predefine purchase limits for buyers in web shops, which cannot be exceeded within a set period of time. The limit check allows customers to define the maximum limit and the period. This check minimizes payment failures and restricts fraudsters.

acdc® Pool

Validates buyers by checking against acdc (account check direct control), a data pool containing buyer details such as return debit quotes, negative listings of bank accounts. This serves as an extra layer to protect against return debits, bad debts and related financial loss.

PIN by callback

Buyers receive a 4-digit PIN on their mobile or landline number via a callback and they should enter this PIN to complete the transaction/purchases. This helps to confirm the identity of buyers in real-time.

PIN by SMS

Buyers will receive a 4-digit PIN via SMS on their mobile phones and they should enter this PIN to complete the transaction/purchases. This helps to confirm the identity of buyers in real-time.

IP country blockade

IP Country block, also known as Geo-blocking, helps block transactions from specific countries. This allows Customers to restrict transactions originating in countries where they do not deliver or due to known higher fraud rates.

Bank account check SEPA

Verifies the bank account details of buyers in real time and determines whether the combination of IBAN/bank accounts and bank codes of the respective countries are valid.

SEPA prenotification by SMS (DE, AT)

To comply with SEPA regulations, customers should inform buyers in advance when and how much will be debited from their bank account. This notification gives buyers enough time to ensure sufficient funds in their bank accounts. SEPA pre-notification SMS is sent to buyers without a valid email address.

Basic address validation

Postal addresses within germany are validated in real-time against authoritative databases. If the address given matches the address in the official database, the address is passed as real and valid.

Compares and validates the IP addresses and BINs (Bank Identification Number) of buyers. Customers have the option to reject transactions originating from a country different from where the credit/debit cards are issued.

The first numbers of the BIN refer to the country’s credit card-issuing bank (Issuer). Should the buyer is for example from Germany and the credit card belongs to America, then the transaction will be rejected as per the merchants’ preference. Through this, the merchant can define to filter particular countries and their cards

Verifies and determines the identity and address details of buyers in real time. This includes examining the accuracy of address and identification quality by triggering the following checks:

  • ID Reliability: Accuracy of the requested address is verified, i.e. deviations in name, date of birth or e-mail address. Reliable addresses with better identification quality tend to result in fewer payment declines, better postal deliverability, higher collection rates (during collection process) and an overall reduction in cases of fraud. The check classifies the identification on a scale from A to D: Addresses rated A are considered as neutral, while the ratings B to D indicates an increased risk due to uncertainties in identification. Value D points to a significantly higher risk of non-payment.
  • TrustRank: Provides a score from a scale from 1 to 10, indicating the stability of a requested address. For example, TrustRank value of 10 indicates a long-term reliable address and a high level of network with other long-term trusted addresses which means that the address is reliable and dependable.
  • Suspicious houses: Calculates statistical building characteristics to detect anomalies and increased risk of nonpayment. If the check reacts to a specific building in an inquiry, there is an increased risk of default for this address.
