We're excited to announce several key updates designed to enhance security, improve usability, and provide greater clarity in your risk management workflows. This release introduces OAuth 2.0 Authentication for stronger API authentication, and now allows for the direct submission of full PANs into monitoring lists.

Support for OAuth 2.0 Authentication

Overview

You can now use OAuth 2.0 to authenticate API requests, adding a new authorization framework for our clients to apply within their FraudNet implementation. 

What’s New

We have introduced OAuth 2.0 as a new, secure authentication option for the Risk Check API. This update provides a stronger, standards-based approach to integration, ensuring your data remains protected with modern, time-limited tokens instead of static credentials.

Impact

OAuth 2.0 significantly enhances security and control over API access by replacing static credentials with time-limited tokens, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and aligning with industry best practices for secure integration.

Support for Full PANs in Approve/Deny/Watch Lists

Overview

Users can now add full, Primary Account Numbers (PANs) directly into Approve, Deny, and Watch Lists. This enhancement streamlines the process of flagging known fraudulent card numbers, allowing for quicker and more direct action against suspicious activity.

What’s New

The system now accepts raw PANs submitted into the payment_id field. Upon entry, these numbers are encrypted and matched against encrypted payment IDs in transaction payloads. 

Impact

This improves operational efficiency and strengthens your ability to block fraudulent transactions by enabling users to add known fraudulent card numbers into the system. It also ensures seamless and secure data mapping with FraudNet handling the encryption and matching to Payment IDs.
