The Regional IP Address Filter allows you to identify transactions from regions or countries from which you do not want to accept transactions.
Note: The list includes an Unresolved region in addition to the identifiable regions. Transactions that cannot be resolved to a country fall into this category. In rare circumstances, a valid IP address can fall into this category when technical difficulties occur.
The Expand Geographic Region action does not function for the Unresolved region because no countries are mapped to it.
The filter status, Filter Enabled, Filter Disabled or Not Configured appears at the top of the page.
To enable the Regional IP Address Filter:
Step 1: Click the Enable Filter check box at the top of the page. Or, to disable the Regional IP Address Filter, make sure that the Enable Filter check box is deselected.
Step 2: Click Edit Regional Settings for the region you want to configure.
Step 3a: To apply a Filter Action to the entire geographic region, select the radio button under the appropriate Filter Action for this region.
Step 3b: To configure the region on a per-country basis, click Expand Geographic Region and then select the radio button under the appropriate Filter Action for each country.
Note: If a transaction triggers more than one filter, and each filter is configured with a different action, the most severe filter action will be applied to the transaction. For example, you might configure filter A to decline all triggered transactions, and filter B to authorize but hold all triggered transactions. If a transaction triggers both filters A and B, it will be declined rather than authorized and held for review.
Step 4: Click Save to save your settings or click Cancel to cancel the action.
Step 5: Repeat these steps for all geographic areas listed.
Your saved settings are applied immediately to all transactions screened by the Advanced Fraud Detection Suite.
