#### Fraud Protection

For Paystack, stopping fraud is top priority. We’ve used machine learning to minimize
risks, reduce chargebacks and its associated costs. Paystack’s fraud systems is 
built to learn. And so it’s continually adapting to both local and international
fraud.

We screen every transaction by checking the IP, history, geolocation etc. to proactively
identify fraudulent transactions. The entire network is used to prevent fraud. We
learn from card and device fingerprints used to pay across different merchants.

#### Multiple Channels

We’ve done all the heavy lifting such that you can immediately start accepting payments
across all channels. Allow your customers make payments via their credit/debit card,
bank accounts, USSD and Mobile Money.
