A digital ticket can be purchased in minutes. Ticket fraud can happen just as quickly. For transit providers, it is becoming increasingly important to identify fraudsters without slowing down legitimate passengers.
With COSMO Fraud Detection, transit providers can identify fraud attempts involving digital tickets directly during the ordering process. The solution for digital ticket fraud checks every order within seconds against more than 70 validation criteria and returns a clear traffic-light risk rating. With AI and continuous enhancements, COSMO Fraud Detection keeps learning.
Integration of our public transit and regional rail software solutions into Microsoft-based systems is seamless, data-minimizing, and GDPR-compliant. Manual reviews are reduced, your teams are relieved, and the ordering experience remains smooth for passengers. Cloud deployment enables a fast rollout and flexible scaling to help protect your revenue over the long term.
