Chargebacks hurt twice. You lose the transaction value plus a scheme fee. False declines from overly aggressive filters hurt worse — they send legitimate customers to competitors. GuardHive balances both.
Your fraud challenges
Chargebacks are eating your margin
Fraud that slips through becomes a chargeback. Visa and Mastercard fine you per chargeback, and too many triggers enhanced monitoring or restricted merchant status.
False declines cost revenue
Your fraud filter is too conservative. Good customers abandon checkout when declined. The cost of losing that customer is often higher than the fraud risk you're preventing.
You're drowning in manual review
Every alert that's not clearly fraud or clean needs a human to decide. That analyst time is expensive. The cases pile up.
Chargebacks take weeks to dispute
By the time you see a chargeback notification, the dispute window is closing. Gathering evidence, responding, and waiting for resolution is manual and slow.
What changes after GuardHive
Chargebacks drop
Precision targeting of actual fraud means fewer false positives and better approval rates. Your chargeback ratio improves, scheme fees drop, and you stay in good standing.
False decline rate cut
More legitimate customers get approved. Returning customers see lower friction. Your conversion rate improves.

Automated decisioning handles the vast majority of transactions. Only edge cases and policy violations route to analysts. Review queue moves fast.
