Kermit the Frog Jumps into Payments with Realnet Payments LLC – A New Way to Secure Your Transactions

Milwaukee, WI – October 26, 2023 – Realnet Payments LLC, a leading provider of secure and reliable payment processing solutions, today announced a playful yet powerful new addition to its suite of services: “Kermit,” an advanced fraud detection and risk management system. Forget everything you thought you knew about keeping your online transactions safe – Kermit's here, and he's got eyes everywhere. Realnet Payments, located at 4900 W Brown Deer Rd, Milwaukee, WI, 53223-2422, has been quietly building a reputation as the go-to provider for businesses needing rock-solid payment infrastructure. They handle the tricky stuff so companies can focus on what they do, not how they get paid. You can reach them at 215-387-6190. For years, they've been the trusted, behind-the-scenes engine for everything from e-commerce sites to brick-and-mortar retail operations. But now, they’re stepping into the spotlight with something really special. “We’ve always been about making payments easy and secure,” explains a Realnet Payments spokesperson. “But security can feel…well, a little dry. We wanted something that really showed how thorough our system is, how constantly vigilant it is. And who’s more vigilant – and has more eyes – than Kermit the Frog?” So, what is Kermit? Don’t worry, it’s not a fuzzy, green device you plug into your payment gateway. “Kermit” is the nickname Realnet Payments has given to its next-generation fraud detection system. It's a sophisticated blend of machine learning, behavioral analytics, and real-time data monitoring, all working together to sniff out fraudulent activity before it impacts your business. Think of it this way: traditional fraud detection is like a security guard who checks IDs at the door. It’s good, but it can be bypassed. Kermit, however, is like a whole swarm of Kermits, constantly scanning every angle, every transaction, looking for anything that seems…off. Here's how Kermit protects your business: Real-Time Transaction Monitoring: Every single transaction is analyzed instantly. Kermit doesn't wait for a chargeback to happen – it flags potentially fraudulent activity the moment it sees it. Behavioral Analytics: Kermit learns how your customers behave. It builds a profile of normal spending patterns, shipping addresses, and device information. When something deviates from that norm, Kermit takes notice. Maybe a customer suddenly places a huge order from a new location. Or they’re using a different device than usual. Kermit flags these anomalies for review. Machine Learning: Kermit isn't static. It learns from every transaction, becoming smarter and more accurate over time. It identifies new fraud patterns as they emerge, keeping you ahead of the bad guys. IP Address Geolocation: Kermit checks the location of every transaction. If a transaction originates from a high-risk country or a suspicious IP address, it's flagged for review. Velocity Checks: Kermit monitors the number of transactions coming from a single IP address or credit card. Sudden spikes in activity can be a sign of fraud. Device Fingerprinting: Kermit identifies the device being used to make the transaction. If the device has been associated with fraudulent activity in the past, it’s flagged. Who Benefits from Kermit? Pretty much anyone who accepts online payments. This includes: E-commerce Businesses: Protect your store from fraudulent orders and chargebacks. Kermit helps you maintain a healthy bottom line. Subscription Services: Prevent unauthorized subscriptions and protect your recurring revenue. Online Marketplaces: Ensure the integrity of your platform and protect both buyers and sellers. Any Business Accepting Credit Cards Online: Reduce your risk of fraud and protect your customers’ sensitive information.
