Decision guide

Provider-native tools are sometimes the whole answer.

Stripe Radar and Adyen RevenueProtect are examples of fraud controls that stay with the payment provider. They are the right place to remain when one provider and one payment journey carry the risk. An independent layer is a different job: one policy across the events you connect.

Stay with the provider

Included controls are enough when…

One payment provider processes the journey you care about.
That provider’s fraud tool — for example Stripe Radar or Adyen RevenueProtect — already expresses the risk appetite.
Investigations and explanations from that tool are enough for the team and for audit.
You are not trying to apply one policy across onboarding, payouts, bonuses or a second provider.

Consider an independent layer

A separate decision layer helps when…

More than one provider, or more than one event type, decides risk separately.
You need the same entity history in detection, review and the outcome you record.
A rule change has to be tested without waiting for each provider’s console.
You want provider scores as inputs, not as the only decision.

What SENTR does in that second case

You map events and fields. Rules, customer-specific scoring and investigations share that record. Your application still enforces the response. SENTR does not file disputes, replace KYC or AML, or ship a finished connector for every processor.
