A transaction is an attempt of your applicants to commit a financial operation like a crypto transfer, deposit, or gambling bet.

Each time a transaction is created, it triggers a set of rules intended to verify its legitimacy and—depending on the rule configuration—perform such automatic actions as:

• Assign a score to the give transaction.
• Put the transaction on hold so that it can be processed by the dedicated compliance officer. All transactions that are put on hold receive the Requires action status and distributed to queues for manual review.
• Mark the transaction as awaiting actions from the applicant.
• Reject the transaction automatically.

In the Dashboard, a list of transactions is available on the Transactions page, which encompasses inbound and outbound transactions of your applicants.

Create KYC transactions during onboarding

The option of creating KYC transactions during onboarding of new applicants can help you customize the risk policy, perform cross-checks, and calculate transaction risk score that affects the total applicant onboarding risk score.

When this option is enabled, every time a new applicant is being onboarded, the rules installed from the Basic Onboarding bundle are triggered and automatically applied to determine whether the applicant data such as email, phone number and/or IP address matches the rules parameters. For example, whether the email was created on a disposable platform or the phone number has been used in suspicious transactions, and so on.

Once the applicant data is checked, you receive the transaction score, which in turn affects the applicant onboarding risk score. The applicant is approved, rejected, or delegated to you for review, depending on the results of multiple cross-checks described in the installed rules.

📘

Mind the following:

• At least one of the rules from the Basic Onboarding bundle must be installed for the option to take effect.
• The option of creating KYC transactions during onboarding is mandatory for the applicant onboarding score calculation (based on the transaction score).

To enable KYC transactions during onboarding:

1. Set up a verification level to conduct onboarding KYC transactions.
2. In the General section, expand More options.
3. Select the Create KYC transactions during onboarding checkbox.
4. Click Save.

Review transactions

To review transactions:

1. In the Dashboard, open the Transactions page.
2. Click a transaction record and review its details. Each transaction comprises fields that may vary, depending on the transaction and the applicant type. In the transaction body, you will also see the list of matched rules.
3. Manage results as necessary.

Learn more about events

Events log any activities on transaction status change. Every time a transaction receives a new status, such an event is saved for future references.

To see the events, in the Dashboard, open the Events page.

Each event is mapped to the associated applicant and transaction, so that you can quickly open an applicant profile or transaction card for more details.

Study analytics

Analytics help you get a bird's-eye view of your applicant’s financial activity and make informed decisions regarding questionable transactions.

To view analytical information about your applicants' transactions:

1. In the Dashboard, open the Transactions page and select any transaction.
2. Open the Analytics tab to see the full transaction history for the selected user and specify the period to display the analytical data.

For financial transactions, you can review such information as: Transactions volume, Transactions count, Transactions count by status, and the Transactions volume for the specified period as a graph.

For gambling bets, you can review such information as: Gross gambling revenue, Profit/Loss, Total bonus sum, Transactions volume, and Total bet volume.
