Not sure what is on a VISA but I'd imagine it's something similar...

[wrong]Falcon is specific to ANZ and I'm pretty sure they only do VISA cards.[/wrong] Other banks might implement similar security features but as far as I'm aware it's independent of Mastercard and VISA.

Nope.
Falcon is a Mastercard service.
Check your sources.

The play draw strikes again.

Hmmm...

Is Randomman the new polonyman?

I sense a poll and badly aimed whore thread coming along...

**FJ Steve** · 03-07-2009, 12:07 PM

it was ANZ that brought "Falcon" on-line first....and proceeded to spam the advertisement slots with "their" new found security device.

**browncow** · 03-07-2009, 12:12 PM

Ta FJ.

Just because ANZ made some faggoty advertisement doesn't mean it's their system.

Elise, start up a paypal account and insist on using that to pay for everything, it works for me you get protection up to $1500

**Lefty** · 03-07-2009, 12:31 PM

Elise, was it this one?

Surely you could have spotted it from a mile off!

**Randomman** · 03-07-2009, 12:32 PM

Just did some reading, it looks like it's up to the bank to implement an anti-fraud system. So it still appears it's completely independent of VISA and Mastercard.

My visa has Falcon protection.

Reduce fraud losses. Visa employs advanced fraud detection tools—including FalconTM Fraud Manager,2 Visa Advanced Authorization, and Flash Fraud Rules—to protect your Visa card programs from intrusion by unauthorized users and to combat flash fraud.

And here I was thinking it was a Mastercard invention... Looks like it was concieved by HNC Software, now owned by the Fair Isaac corporation...

Don't worry mine is too, I thought ANZ made Falcon and only had VISA cards.
