100% Rules-Based Processing

Every decision is configurable through business rules - no code changes required

Routing Rules

Route transactions by amount, currency, card brand, BIN range, merchant category, geography, or any custom attribute. Configure cascades and failover logic.

Fraud Rules

Define velocity limits, geographic restrictions, device fingerprint rules, and risk thresholds. Combine rules with AND/OR logic for precise control.

Fee Rules

Calculate processing fees, interchange, scheme fees, and markups based on transaction attributes. Support tiered pricing and volume discounts.

Authorization Rules

Configure card controls, spending limits, merchant restrictions, and real-time authorization decisions for issued cards.

Settlement Rules

Define settlement schedules, funding splits, reserve calculations, and reconciliation rules per merchant or merchant category.

Compliance Rules

Enforce AML transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, PEP checks, and regulatory reporting requirements through configurable rule sets.

Message Bus

NATS Databus Architecture

Every component communicates through the NATS message bus, enabling:

  • Pub/Sub Messaging - Broadcast events to multiple subscribers
  • Request/Reply - Synchronous calls with automatic load balancing
  • Queue Groups - Distribute work across service instances
  • JetStream - Persistent messaging with exactly-once delivery
  • Subject Hierarchy - Organized message routing (fraud.screen, router.route)
  • Hot Reload - Update rules without restarting services
// Message Subjects
fraud.screen       → Fraud screening request
fraud.result       → Fraud decision response
router.route       → Routing request
router.cascade     → Cascade on decline
gateway.health     → Service health checks
transaction.*      → Transaction events
settlement.*       → Settlement events
*.config.update    → Hot config reload

// Example: Fraud Screening
NATS.request('fraud.screen', {
  transactionId: 'TXN001',
  amount: 15000,
  currency: 'EUR',
  cardHash: 'sha256...',
  merchantId: 'mer_123',
  deviceFingerprint: 'fp_abc'
})
