An exemplary method for reducing fraudulent transactions includes
receiving fraud data from a first data source, wherein the fraud data is
related to a fraudulent transaction of an entity. A first data element
corresponding to the entity is also received from the first data source.
The first data element is correlated with the fraudulent transaction of
the entity to form an entity profile. The first data element and a second
data element corresponding to the entity are received from a second data
source. The second data element is correlated with the entity profile
based on the first data element. A transaction risk assessment request
based on a request for payment to a payee is received, wherein the
transaction risk assessment request includes a payee identifier. A
transaction risk assessment is generated based at least in part on the
entity profile and at least in part on the payee identifier.
