WHY DO YOU NEED RISK MANAGEMENT FOR CARDS?

Card programs can scale safely when risk is actively managed.

Every card you put into the world carries the risk of fraudulent spend, and with it financial loss, cardholder disputes, blocked cards, and erosion of trust in your product. Breach Visa's monitoring thresholds and you face audits, penalty fees, and lost dispute rights.

What running a card program safely requires

Real-time fraud detection

Continuous monitoring

Dispute recovery

Fraud reporting

Scheme oversight

Who this is for

Built for platforms and
fintechs launching a card program

Whether you are issuing your first card or scaling a live program, the risk work is the same and it is the part nobody wants to build twice.

01 For

Platforms launching a card program

You are shipping cards as a feature, not building a risk department to support them.

01 For

Fintechs scaling a live program

Volume is growing and your fraud exposure is growing with it, faster than you can hire against.

01 For

Teams with no card risk experience

Card fraud behaves differently from the fraud you already know. You get Reap's playbook instead of writing your own.

01 For

Web3-native teams

Your ops budget lives on-chain. Fiat conversion is the tax you pay to buy SaaS and AWS. With VIC, top up in USDC and transact against merchants globally — no fiat on-ramp in the middle.

FAQ

Questions card issuers ask

+01
What is Reap Sentry?
Reap Sentry is Reap's managed risk service: a fully managed card issuing fraud prevention function for card programs issued through Reap Card Issuing. Reap's risk specialists configure and operate your program's fraud controls, covering real-time transaction screening, portfolio monitoring, BIN attack response, dispute recovery, Visa scheme compliance, and fraud performance reporting. You do not hire a risk team, license fraud tools, or need prior card-risk experience.
+02
How quickly is my program protected?
From the moment you go live. Reap configures your risk controls during onboarding, so your program launches with active fraud monitoring and proven detection rules from transaction one. There is no gap between launch and protection.
+03
What does Reap actually manage?
Everything fraud-related: real-time transaction screening, continuous monitoring, BIN attack detection and response, dispute handling with a near-100% win rate, confirmed fraud reporting to Visa, and regular performance reporting to you. Configured and operated by Reap's risk specialists, not your team.
+04
Do I need a risk team or fraud tools?
No. You do not need a risk team, fraud monitoring tools, or prior card-risk experience. The only integration on your side is two APIs: a Fraud Alert API and a Dispute API. Reap handles everything else.
+05
What fraud rate can I expect?
Reap actively manages your program's fraud rate to more than 2x lower than the Asia Pacific cross-border CNP benchmark of 11.7bp. Your program benefits from 8+ years of portfolio-wide fraud data from day one.
+06
What would it cost to build this myself?
A real-time monitoring platform costs up to USD 150K, plus an experienced fraud manager at ~USD 100K/yr, plus months of setup time. That is ~USD 250K+ minimum, before you have issued your first card.
+07
What's the difference between Reap Sentry and building card risk management in-house?
No other issuer offers this as a managed service, so your alternative is building it yourself.
Reap Sentry Build it in-house
Cost Included in your card program Minimum USD 250K+ (tooling plus headcount)
Time to market Live at program launch At least 8 to 12 months before safe to run
Fraud expertise Reap's portfolio-wide data and a specialist team with 50+ years combined experience Your hires learning your program alone
Scheme compliance Managed by Reap You learn and maintain it independently
Fraud loss rate 2x+ lower than industry benchmarks, proven Unknown until months of tuning
Dispute handling Near-100% win rate You build it or outsource it
+08
Will legitimate transactions get declined?
Some will, and that is by design. Zero false positives means approving all fraud. Reap balances both sides: catching fraud without over-blocking good spend. Controls are continuously tuned, and overblock guardrails keep legitimate transactions flowing.
+09
What is a BIN attack, and how does Reap respond?
A BIN attack, also called a card enumeration attack, is a brute-force attempt to guess valid card numbers by generating combinations against a known Bank Identification Number, then testing them with small transactions. Reap monitors for the pattern across the whole portfolio, declines the attempts in real time, notifies you within one business day, and updates your controls immediately.
+10
What are Visa's fraud monitoring thresholds, and who keeps my program inside them?
Visa holds issuers to fraud and dispute thresholds, and breaching them can trigger audits, penalty fees, and lost dispute rights. Reap manages your fraud reporting, decline rates, and 3DS challenge rates to keep your program within them, and reports confirmed fraud to Visa on schedule.
+11
Does Reap Sentry cover AML and sanctions screening?
No. AML and CTF obligations remain your responsibility. Reap Sentry covers card fraud detection, loss management, and Visa scheme compliance.
+12
Does Reap guarantee zero fraud?
No, and nobody can. Card fraud is a USD 33bn+ global problem. What Reap commits to is actively managing your fraud rate to more than 2x lower than industry benchmarks, live rejection of suspected fraud in real time, BIN attack notification within one business day, and regular performance reporting. The goal is minimising loss, not promising the impossible.
