Gateway Rules

Compliance – Gateway Response Rules

This module allows HelloMe Money’s compliance and fraud risk team to configure custom rules that respond to risk signals from external payment gateways, such as:

  • World
  • PayCross
  • Trust Payment

These gateways return security validation results like:

  • 3DS (3D Secure) – Did the user complete authentication?
  • AVS (Address Verification Service) – Does the cardholder's address match?
  • Risk Score – How suspicious is the transaction?

🛡️ Purpose

The Gateway Response Rules module enables HelloMe to apply its own decision-making logic based on these responses. Instead of accepting the gateway result as-is, the system uses internal rules to allow, block, or hold a transaction.

✅ Example Use Cases

  • ❌ If AVS fails and country is Nigeria, block the transaction.
  • ✅ If 3DS passes and risk level is low, allow the transaction.

This ensures more intelligent and localized fraud prevention policies across gateway providers.
