The pressure on payment processors has never been greater. With a serious uplift in cashless transactions since the pandemic and a wholesale uptake of buy now pay later (BNPL) options across the retail sector, it’s never been more important for payment processors to ensure the security of transactions and adhere to various regulations and standards, such as PCI-DSS.
As the number of transactions increases, payment processors must be able to handle the increased volume while maintaining security and reliability. They must be able to integrate with various platforms and systems, such as e-commerce websites, point-of-sale systems, and mobile applications. Processing can be expensive, with transaction fees, chargebacks, and other costs, which can cut into profit margins for merchants. The market is crowded, and they must differentiate themselves and compete on factors such as cost, security, and features. Payment processors must also keep up with emerging technologies, such as blockchain and cryptocurrencies, and decide whether and how to integrate them into their offerings.
How do payment processors monitor their transactions?
Payment processors monitor transactions using a combination of technology and manual processes. Some common methods used to monitor transactions include:
- Transaction Filtering and Querying: using filters to identify and flag transactions that meet certain criteria, such as high-risk countries or large transactions.
- Real-time Dashboards and Charts: getting a visual indication of transaction throughput in real time, grouped by specific areas of interest, for instance, Card Issuer, Retailer, and Card Type.
- Alerting: being alerted to unusual transaction behaviour and enabling them to fix issues fast.
- Trend Analysis: analyzing transaction throughput trends to show patterns and help predict future requirements.
A comprehensive and proactive approach to monitoring transactions is imperative.
