ENCAPLogo_Orange.jpgThis post is part of our live coverage of FinovateSpring 2013.

Bridging the gap between banking grade security and user experience is our next presenter, Encap.
“The Encap product is a software-based authentication solution that provides uncompromising speed, security, and simplicity to boost the adoption of financial services and applications. It allows any service provider to offer two- and three-factor authentication using the customer’s smart device. 
Integrating Encap’s client SDK with a native app creates a seamless, familiar login experience while maintaining banking-grade access security. The 1st (“know”) factor is the user-defined PIN, the 2nd (“have”) factor is the uniquely identifiable smart device and the 3rd factor (“are”) is the user’s typing behavior. By integrating with Encap’s server-side SDK, the service provider can use Encap’s solution as part of its existing identity management access control service and signature systems.”

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. “
