At the heart of achieving this equilibrium is proficient risk scoring software.
Risk scoring for payment firms is not just a regulatory formality; it’s imperative to have a full understanding of your clients and their potential fraud and AML risks.

Utilizing advanced analytics and drawing from extensive data sources, Alessa equips payment companies to:

Why Payment Firms Trust Alessa for Risk Scoring
Configurable Risk Scoring Models
Payment firms have unique organizational risk tolerances, and as a result, should have business-specific risk scoring factors. Alessa’s configurable risk scoring model provides a robust foundation of standard risk factors, while also allowing you to change factors and include additional factors, rules, and weights best suited to your business environment.
A 360° View of Client Risk
Pairing our risk scoring solution with our 360° View of Client Risk and Risk Level Change Dashboards provides your compliance team with automatic daily updates of significant changes to client risk levels. Alessa’s Risk Level Change Dashboard notifies you of clients whose risk scores have surpassed your organization’s risk threshold in the last 24 hours. The 360° View Dashboard helps you understand why your client’s risk score has changed.
Reduced Manual Risk Assessments
Manual risk assessments are expensive, slow, and often inconsistent and many payments lack the resources for comprehensive manual customer risk investigations, so scores and assessments are often outdated, even in high-risk scenarios. Automated risk scoring gives your bank’s compliance team the information they need at a glance, freeing them to give high-risk customers their full attention.
Scale Risk Management with Ease
Alessa risk scoring scales seamlessly as your customer base and transaction volume grow. Our cloud-based solution is designed to accommodate payments of all sizes. With Alessa, your risk management infrastructure is always a step ahead, facilitating strategic growth while maintaining high-risk assessment and compliance standards.
Data Integration for Better Scoring
Pairing our risk scoring solution with other modules enhances your customer risk profiles. Alessa’s complete solution pulls risk data from various sources, including our sanctions screening and transaction monitoring modules, to provide a complete assessment of the risks of doing business with an individual or business. You can configure how Alessa analyzes and applies that data to determine a customer’s risk level, based on your specific business needs.
