What is manual review?

A traditional manual review is the reviewing of information by a human, as opposed to AI/machine learning, to confirm fraud has not occurred. This human reviewer, often a fraud analyst, is trained to review all available data points and reach a data-driven decision.

How do manual reviews prevent fraud?

Manual reviews are an important step in risk management as human insights can help bring clarification and improved precision by reading between the lines and providing nuance in ways software cannot.

How does a manual review solution assist in reviews?

Because unassisted manual reviews rely solely on subjective human interpretations, they can be just as error prone as the most rigid of rule sets. Additionally, traditional manual reviews are time consuming, costly and lack scalability, a review solution speeds up the process and works at global scale.

For these reasons, a manual review is most effective when paired with a solution that compliments the process. This will not only improve customer satisfaction, enabling agents to confidently approve more good customers faster, reduce chargebacks and abandonment, but also increase overall productivity by arming agents with logical precision in identifying fraud.
