Configuring Negative Country List

Negative Country list comprises all countries from which fraudulent or malicious transactions are known to have originated in the past. Enterprises may also maintain this list in line with the regulations of their country.

RiskMinder derives the country information based on the input IP address. It, then, uses this data to score the potential for fraud for online transactions originating from such countries. For this purpose, RiskMinder also integrates with Quova, which enhances the analysis by providing detailed geographic information for each IP address by mapping it to a region.

RiskMinder evaluates the incoming transactions and checks if these transactions originated from an IP address that belongs to a country marked as negative. Such transactions are typically denied.

Use the Manage List Data and Category Mappings page to add a country to the Negative Country list or remove a country from the list.
