As a cross-border purchasing agent platform, Kakobuy has implemented a robust payment risk management system powered by spreadsheets to streamline international transactions while minimizing financial risks.
The platform automatically flags transactions that fall outside established parameters (unusually large amounts, suspicious recipient patterns) through conditional formatting rules in spreadsheet cells turning red when anomalies are detected.
Pivot tables highlight currency pairs showing excessive 30-day volatility, prompting platform-initiated FX hedging solutions for users.
VLOOKUP cross-references new transactions against historical fraud cases preserved in separate worksheet tabs.
Sparkline charts visualize payment method reliability trends based on success/failure rates over time periods.
| Risk Type | Spreadsheet Function | Countermeasure |
|---|---|---|
| Currency risk | Real-time API fed exchange rates | Dynamic currency conversion with lock-in periods |
| Bank transfer failures | Time-stamped transaction logs | Partner diversification (SWIFT/SEPA/Local clearing) |
The platform's monthly spreadsheet audit revealed user fund losses decrease 37% after rolling-out TWO-factor authentication triggered by higher-risk transaction scoring algorithms (calculated using custom spreadsheet risk formulas).
