RevCent protects ecommerce businesses with Sentinel Anti-Fraud, RevCent’s free in-house fraud prevention system that evaluates visitors, customers, cards, velocity, order context, and previous fraud intelligence before risky payments reach the processor.
Sentinel is RevCent’s in-house anti-fraud system. It runs before the payment is sent to a gateway, so high-risk attempts can be stopped before they create processing fees, gateway pressure, lost inventory, disputes, or damaged merchant history.
Fraud rarely shows up as one obvious signal. RevCent evaluates the request from several angles before deciding whether a payment should continue, be blocked, or be reviewed.
A fraud attempt should make the business smarter. RevCent stores fraud context so previous attacks, suspicious patterns, blocked attempts, and risk signals can influence what happens next.
A payment attempt shows mismatched visitor data, repeated attempts, risky request timing, or prior fraud similarity.
The fraud reason, visitor context, payment details, customer relationship, and decision output stay connected.
Later attempts can be evaluated against known behavior instead of being treated like a brand-new event.
Card testing attacks can create thousands of rapid payment attempts. Sentinel is built to recognize those patterns quickly and stop the attempts before they become gateway events.
The value of anti-fraud is not just blocking one suspicious payment. It is reducing processing damage, preserving merchant account health, and turning attack patterns into reusable intelligence.
Single card-testing event. Five-minute window. No attempts sent to the processor.
A client store was targeted by fraudsters attempting to test approximately 2,500 stolen cards. Sentinel detected the rapid card-testing pattern and prevented the attempts from reaching the processor before they could create transaction fees, gateway pressure, or merchant account risk.
After the attack failed, the fraudsters stopped within minutes. RevCent also preserved the fraud intelligence so future attempts and similar patterns can be evaluated faster for every protected account.
Total prevented amount calculated across one client account. None sent to the processor.
RevCent analyzed a month of fraudulent payment attempts for one client account and calculated that roughly $360,000 in suspicious payment activity was stopped before entering normal processing paths.
Sentinel reviewed each attempt before processor authorization using layered checks like request risk, visitor validation, payment context, customer history, and fraud memory. That helped protect the business from transaction fees, chargeback exposure, and merchant account damage.
