Circle Internet Financial has introduced a new fraud management tool called Watchlists, accessible through the Circle Account dashboard, aimed at enhancing user experience and minimizing fraud-related losses. As payment activities grow across different regions and platforms, the risk of fraud increases, prompting the need for more personalized fraud management solutions. Watchlists enable customers to create "block" and "allow" lists, giving them greater control over their fraud management processes and reducing reliance on third parties. This self-service tool allows users to efficiently manage transactions by blocking certain geographies, card types, and responses, while allowing specific entities, enhancing the ability to adapt to fraud trends swiftly. The launch of Watchlists marks the first step in Circle's broader plans to roll out additional fraud management features in 2021, including dispute management capabilities and data insights for tracking trends over time. Customers can access these tools if their IP is listed on the access list, and they are encouraged to contact Circle's team for assistance.
