FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions About Fraud and Approval Rates
This section answers the most common questions the Redbridge team hears about fraud, chargebacks, and approval rates. Click on any question below to read the full response.
Why do fraud tools often reject good customers?
Many fraud prevention tools rely on rigid rules or generic AI models that misclassify legitimate transactions as fraudulent. This creates “false declines,” which not only lose revenue but also frustrate loyal customers. Redbridge fine-tunes fraud settings and issuer alignment to balance security with higher approval rates.
What is the impact of false declines on revenue?
False declines are a hidden but costly problem. Studies show they can account for more revenue loss than actual fraud. Enterprises that optimize their fraud strategies can recover millions annually by reducing unnecessary transaction rejections.
Do stronger fraud controls hurt approval rates?
Enterprises often believe tightening fraud rules will inevitably block more good customers. Redbridge helps merchants redesign controls that protect revenue while improving approval performance. With better data, clearer issuer alignment, and balanced rules, clients achieve both higher approvals and stronger fraud prevention.
How much revenue can companies recover by improving fraud and chargeback strategies?
Enterprises typically recover up to 50% of lost fraud-related revenue and achieve a 2% average net revenue uplift through higher approval rates. Redbridge clients benefit from independent benchmarking and strategies that directly increase sales.
Can chargebacks ever be recovered?
Yes. Many chargebacks can be successfully disputed with the right processes in place. By improving dispute handling, analyzing win rates, and challenging unclaimed chargebacks, enterprises can recover significant amounts of revenue that would otherwise be lost.
What’s the difference between fraud prevention and chargeback management?
Fraud prevention focuses on stopping fraudulent transactions before they occur, while chargeback management deals with disputes after they’ve happened. A strong payments strategy requires both: preventing fraud without rejecting good customers and recovering revenue when disputes arise.
