What happened
Directions Credit Union uses Unit21 for transaction monitoring, case management and real-time payment fraud prevention. Its fraud team builds, tests and changes its own detection rules to catch new fraud patterns such as P2P and account takeover, replacing a rigid legacy system and a homegrown batch-based process.
Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Unit21 and Directions Credit Union, not ours.
With Unit21, Directions has been able to look at countless fraud patterns that were never possible in their previous system. “For example, I can write a rule around password patterns–there are X amount of password resets plus outgoing transfers.
I have true control of our fraud strategy & systems. Unit21’s customizability allows me to create & test a rule in one day & deploy it that very same day!
