Integrations on Deck


No matter which payment gateway you use, Kurv is fully gateway-agnostic. We’ll protect your merchant account and prevent chargebacks, regardless of how your system is set up.

Friendly Fraud & Account Takeover Prevention

Friendly fraud occurs when a cardholder disputes a legitimate purchase—either by mistake, because they don’t recognize it, or intentionally, to get a refund while keeping the item. Kurv helps prevent both by:

  • Flagging and identifying patterns of refund abuse, misuse of policies, false claims, and inconsistent customer behavior across accounts and devices.
  • Preventing “Order Not Received” chargebacks with automatic shipping and delivery updates.
  • Customizing billing descriptors and notifications to reduce confusion and disputes

Frequently Asked Questions

What is merchant fraud protection and how does it work?

Merchant fraud protection is a set of advanced tools designed to safeguard your business from fraudulent activity. This includes tokenization to secure payment data, Address Verification Service (AVS) to confirm customer details, PIN verification, and filters that monitor transaction volume and thresholds. It also uses behavior and velocity analysis to spot suspicious patterns, automated software to detect fraud in real time, alerts for potential chargebacks, and automatic blocking features to prevent fraudulent transactions before they happen.

How is merchant fraud protection different from consumer fraud protection?

Merchant fraud protection is designed to shield businesses from fraudulent activities, including managing chargebacks to safeguard against disputes. In contrast, consumer fraud protection aims to protect individuals from issues such as identity theft and unauthorized transactions.

Can merchant fraud protection help prevent friendly fraud and false chargebacks?

Yes, Kurv’s merchant account prevention helps handle chargeback disputes by automatically detecting disputes, analyzing their root causes, and helping to resolve them.

Is Kurv’s fraud prevention software compliant with PCI and other standards?

Yes, Kurv adheres to Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards, ensuring the security of your and your customers’ data. 

How fast can I implement Kurv’s fraud solution?
