Signifyd Debuts Guaranteed Payments Solution to Help Online Merchants Minimize Card-Not-Present Fraud

SignifydLogo.jpg

This is a part of our live coverage of FinovateSpring 2013.
Second up today, Signifyd showed how its Guaranteed Payments solves costly card-not-present fraud:

“Today, Card-Not-Present merchants are liable for fraud chargebacks. As brick-and-mortar businesses move online, their losses increase. The techniques used by fraudsters are evolving quickly, forcing merchants to become experts on device fingerprinting, IP Geo-Location, NAP Checks, BIN lookups and social spoofing. 

Signifyd abstracts this away by connecting all the data needed to screen a transaction and looking at the identities involved holistically. With Signifyd, merchants get a one-stop solution, from automated scoring to manual review, even without any internal history on the customer. And with Guaranteed Payments, Signifyd takes the liability in the case of a mistake. “
