Improve fraud detection accuracy with updated Score signals

We’ve updated Score account linking and fraud ring detection to reduce false positives and make investigations easier for your risk teams. The new setup gives you clearer visibility into which entities triggered specific risk signals.

More accurate fraud ring detection

We’ve improved how Score identifies linked accounts and fraud ring activity. With Score, you can identify fraudulent behavior, stop suspicious payouts, and flag unusual account holder activities, a feature that you can use with your Adyen for Platforms integration. This update substantially reduces false positives driven by cluster signals and improves how signals are tied to the entity that triggered them. Your teams can now investigate suspicious activity with clearer context.

Clearer insights for faster investigations

The updated account linking model gives your risk teams more precise signals and better visibility into potential fraud patterns. The “Likely Fraud Ring Activity” rule replaces previous cluster signal activities and helps you apply automated actions with greater confidence based on your risk appetite.

Review your risk rule settings

To get the most value from this update, review your Score risk rule configuration and confirm that the “Likely Fraud Ring Activity” rule is set to the appropriate impact and automated action for your business. No migration work is required, but we recommend validating your settings to align with your current fraud strategy.
