As a business owner, you know that all kinds of negative things can happen that lead to loss of revenue, such as supply chain interruptions, product defects, catastrophic weather events, and customer returns to name a few. But perhaps the costliest form of loss occurs at the sale itself: Credit card fraud.
Credit card fraud is big business, costing U.S merchants an estimated $40 billion each year from chargebacks due to fraud. A February 2021 publication by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the Consumer Sentinel Network Annual Data Book of 2020:
- During 2020, fraud accounted for 393,207of nearly 1.4 million reports of identity theft
- The most frequent payment method identified in fraud reports was credit cards
- Credit card fraud made up a total of 459,297 reported instances of fraud and identity theft combined in 2020
While you can’t do much about product recalls or natural disasters, you can help protect your business from chargebacks due to fraud by implementing a robust ecommerce fraud prevention tool that we have to offer.
The What…
Our fraud prevention service combines different levels of automated and manual processes to detect fraudulent activity. Transactions are screened and verified in a matter of seconds. Less than 5% of transactions don’t pass automatic verification and are flagged for manual verification.
The Why…
You spend a lot of time and money checking transactions manually—maybe you’ll catch all the bad ones, maybe you won’t. And while you’re busy chasing down possible fraud, you’re missing opportunities to process good orders and manage your business. As one of the oldest and most well-established fraud detection tools around, we have a robust anti-fraud solution that can screens out the fraudulent transactions and allows the legitimate transactions to complete. That means no chargebacks due to fraud and no hassle, 100% guaranteed.
95% of orders are approved instantly, and the rest manually verified within hours by a team of experts. You’ll enjoy a 99.7% order approval rate for low-risk transactions, and up to a 98.6% order approval rate for high-risk items (industry average 97.9%).
The How…
A combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and human scrutiny to quickly examine transactions for possible fraudulent characteristics. Every order, including phone orders, goes through a cutting-edge AI system that uses Persona™ and Dynamic Scoring™ technology to take a deep dive into a customer’s profile and catch any problems.
AI Technology Screening
Advanced machine learning technology uses sophisticated algorithms to examine these transaction characteristics:
- Email address
- IP address
- Behavioral data
- Purchasing history
- Issuing bank data
- Public records
If no red flags come up, the transaction is approved in as little as two minutes.
Expert Security Agent Screening
It goes a step further to catch and prevent fraud. If the AI technology detects anything suspicious, it flags the transaction and then passes it on to highly trained security agents to conduct in-depth, hands-on research to make a determination.
