Categories: Balance, FinovateSpring 2013

This is a part of our live coverage of FinovateSpring 2013.

Second up, Balance Financial took the stage with its new digital workspace:

“Wealth management and private banking represent a great opportunity for financial institutions looking to increase revenue. Competition for affluent clients is heavy and most FIs lack sufficient client facing technology to deliver exceptional client experiences that help attract, engage and retain affluent clients while also helping to scale service delivery.

Our new digital workspace application is a simple and effective way to create a custom workspace for collaborating with clients & colleagues. With Balance, service professionals can create a simple client facing workspace in minutes for sharing files, financial data and managing projects while improving the efficiency and effectiveness of their service offerings.”

Product Launch: March 2013

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

By Julie Muhn (@julieschicktanz) Posted on May 15, 2013
Categories: FinovateSpring 2013, Signifyd

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. “
