Introduction
Our Relevant Services
► Payment gateways, wallets and processors, across the globe struggle to operationalize compliance resources because of the breadth, depth & variance of their geographic & socio-economic connections.
► Extensive & varied exposure to dynamic regulatory and jurisdictional laws and regulators
FDA, European Medicine Agency and Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) for prescription drugs
Drug Enforcement Agency for illegal drugs
Copyright and trade mark laws for Intellectual Property Infringement
Legal cases and events for Counterfeiting
Diverse Trade Associations
► Exponential growth of the E Commerce business is causing stress on the system and payment processors alike, therefore leaving gaps open for proliferation of felonious activities.
► Invisible customers and Merchants. Payment gateways are facing customers without the rigor of due diligence maintained by banks. Most Payment processors and gateways verify clients post activation of the account.
► Dynamism of technologies and mediums in which they operate. Acclimatizing to this dynamism yet retaining a share of the market pie is a huge challenge for payment gateways and processors alike.
► Innovative techniques of willful defaulters, offenders & fraudsters. Investigators, Regulators & Payment Processors, usually find themselves playing catch-up with the evolving methodologies employed to circumvent existing checks & surveillance.

Payment processors have been classified as money transmitters and
require to comply with guidelines defined under
the BSA and Patriot act
Regulatory associations and departments
To comply, all payment processors define a user policy that outlines
do’s and don'ts of payments routed through them.
The table alongside provides categories which the payment
processors monitor to ensure compliance as required.
Trends on the rise
High Risk Priority Category
Gaming applications offer virtual goods or currencies as credits
which can be redeemed during in-app purchases. In order to bring a
control, google has made it mandatory for such applications to use
google play ‘s in-app billing service as a method of payment.
Google, Windows and Apple are all offering wallet services which will
enable cleaner application markets and a higher degree of PCI
compliance.
Merchants disguise violating products in numerous ways such as,
Neutral marketing
Not disclosing ingredients banned by FDA while listing
pharmaceutical drugs,
Drug paraphernalia is sold in unrelated markets such as retail
shopping websites.
Merchants disguise payment mechanism by asking prospective
clients to contact the seller through an email ID, once the deal is
confirmed, the actual payment details are divulged. Adult service
domains often indulge in these mechanisms of payment.

Introduction

The Risk Program
Setting the Context
Players in the payments space face some of the greatest
risks across the spectrum, owing to business pressures,
exponential growth, payment mediums and inherent liability
regarding the quality and outcome of the transaction
A number of risks are related to frauds, chargebacks, third
parties, collusion, lack of consumer understanding and even
deviant mobile apps
To design a risk function around such negative events leads
to a continuous game of catchup, while still leaving the
organization open to rapidly evolving risk typologies
Our Solution
Develop a holistic and comprehensive risk program for your
organization, based on defined scientific, analytics and
probabilistic parameters
The program will be designed to ensure seamless tech and
human engagement and leverage, with an aim to tackle the
underlying risk issues rather than individual events.
The program will be defined based on the business needs
and realities of the organization
