The Hidden Cost of Old Fraud Rules: Managing Rule Decay


Listen Later

Fraud teams are accidentally turning into revenue killers.




In this episode of The Weekly Fraudcast, Gena, Vito and the Fraudcast community tackle one of the industry's biggest blind spots: rule decay.



Almost one in four rule declines are false positives, meaning legacy rules are actively rejecting your best customers.



Gena and Vito reveal why any rule older than 90 days is a prime candidate for retirement or major revision.



The conversation dives deep into practical solutions, from automated sunset processes to preventing manual review bias, featuring insights from practitioners like Renuka Venkatesan, Matthew Blanchard, and Jessica Flores.
