According to one embodiment, an apparatus may store a plurality of token-based rules. A token-based rule may facilitate the processing of transactions. The apparatus may receive a transaction token indicating that a transaction associated with an entity has been requested. The apparatus may determine at least one token-based rule based at least in part upon the transaction token. The at least one token-based rule may indicate that there is a risk that the transaction is fraudulent. The apparatus may determine that the transaction should be denied based at least in part upon the risk that the transaction is fraudulent.
