Most businesses want to protect themselves and their customers from fraud. But in the effort to block fraudulent transactions, they might unknowingly be turning away valid customers. This issue, known as false declines, occurs when a legitimate transaction is rejected due to overly strict fraud filters.

 

False declines can cost you a lot — in terms of both lost revenue and customer trust. In fact, false declines are costing businesses more than $443 billion annually. In this guide, we’ll explore the hidden costs of false declines, why they matter to your business, and how our Revenue Loss Calculator can help you quantify these losses and take steps to recover them.

What Are False Declines and Why Do They Matter?

 

False declines happen when a business mistakenly rejects a legitimate transaction, believing it to be fraudulent. While fraud prevention measures are important, overly strict filters can end up blocking good customers, which can cost you sales and damage customer relationships.
Key Facts About False Declines
False declines don’t just result in a single lost transaction — their ripple effect can cause long-term damage to your brand. When customers feel like they’ve been wrongly flagged as fraudsters, they’re likely to take their business elsewhere, often for good.

The True Cost of False Declines for Your Business

 

Beyond the immediate loss of sales revenue, the impact of false declines compounds over time. Each valid customer that’s turned away represents the loss of their lifetime value to your business. If that customer spends $100 per month, your business loses not just that $100, but potentially thousands over the years that shopper would have been a loyal customer.

 

And since a Gen Z shopper might have five decades of shopping ahead of them, the age of a customer can affect the potential revenue you stand to lose when they take their business elsewhere. Here’s a breakdown:

And the problem extends beyond one customer. Negative experiences can lead to complaints on social media, where a single bad review can influence dozens, if not hundreds, of potential buyers. Worse still, 65%of all false declines are legitimate transactions that should have been approved.
