The comparison of online payment methods reveals distinct fraud vectors and varying levels of risk management associated with different payment rails. Card payments, despite being the most mature, are frequently targeted by card-not-present (CNP) fraud and friendly fraud, which primarily impact merchants through chargebacks. Instant payment systems like SEPA Instant, Pix, and FedNow are particularly vulnerable to Authorized Push Payment (APP) fraud due to their rapid, irreversible nature. Digital wallets face risks related to account takeovers and refund abuse, while Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) services are susceptible to identity fraud during onboarding. Cryptocurrency transactions, being irreversible, confront challenges such as wallet address poisoning and account takeovers on exchanges. To address these risks, Didit offers transaction monitoring, identity verification, and wallet screening solutions to detect and mitigate fraudulent activities across various payment systems, emphasizing real-time transaction analysis and pre-emptive control measures.
