Incentive Fraud Prevention & Management
Protecting Your Incentive, Rebate, and Reward Programs
Incentives, rewards, and rebates are powerful tools for driving consumer behavior and boosting sales - but they also present significant opportunities for fraud, abuse, and financial leakage if not properly managed.
Our company specializes in safeguarding promotional ecosystems with advanced fraud detection, in-depth AI assisted validation, and end-to-end program oversight. With deep expertise and cutting-edge technology, we ensure that every dollar spent on incentives delivers genuine value, protecting both brand reputation and bottom-line performance.
Fraud Risks in Incentive Programs
Fraud in rebates and reward programs doesn’t happen every day, but understanding the risks helps highlight why prevention matters.
Examples include:
- Duplicate or fake rebate claims – repeated submissions with small variations in details.
- Employee incentive abuse – creating false accounts or unauthorized reward requests.
- Cyber-attacks on prepaid rewards – automated attempts (such as BIN attacks) to guess card numbers, expiration dates, or CVV codes.
- Suspicious reward usage – unusual geolocation activity, rapid high-value transactions, or unauthorized account access.
By proactively addressing these risks, you ensure secure, seamless reward program management.
