The incentives of the bank is to cut fraud. Fraudulent transactions will eventually cost the bank (when they would have to reverse/reimburse it and eat the loss). A denied transaction only results in an angry customer who will quickly forget after they complained - so the customer bears the brunt of the externalized cost. Therefore, the bank's incentive is to err on the side of more caution, and deny transactions when finding false positives. | ||
