Yet our recent analysis of 2,400+ UK websites found that a significant majority of UK-based digital businesses are inadequately protected against simple bot attacks.

The Merchant Risk Council (MRC), Cybersource, and Verifi present the results of the 2022 Global Fraud and Payments Survey in an educational report that conveys transparent and unbiased research. This report is based on a survey of MRC and non-MRC merchants from around the globe, who were asked about their eCommerce fraud and payments practices. The survey sample included a diverse mix of small businesses (SMBs), mid-market, and enterprise merchants, representing organizations based throughout the North American, European, Asia-Pacific (APAC), and Latin American (LATAM) regions. The research was conducted in November and December of 2021.

The survey results provide the MRC merchant community with the latest industry fraud data and fraud management methods used by their peers, along with a robust set of performance benchmarks that members can use to help optimize their fraud management and prevention practices. In addition, the survey delves into today’s rapidly changing payments landscape to examine the range of different payment acceptance, management, and partnership practices merchants are deploying, globally and across key subsegments, as well as the reasons why they are adopting these payment strategies and tactics in the current commercial environment.

Discover how merchants and issuers can join forces to effectively reduce declined transactions. As a merchant, you're well aware of the significant impact that issuer declines, such as Insufficient Funds, Do Not Honor, and others, have on your overall payment decline rate. Not only do these declines result in lost revenue, but they also contribute to a poor customer experience and uncomfortable discussions with your Finance team regarding subpar payment performance.

In this webinar we will present case studies highlighting successful collaborations between issuers and merchants.

Hear from Kipp's Director of Growth, Nathan Joel and Pedro Bennasar, Head of Payments, Vestiaire Collective about how merchants can optimize payment authorization through better collaboration with card issuers.

• Attendees will gain access to benchmark results showcasing the effectiveness of collaboration between merchants and issuers in recovering declined transactions.

Over half of digital consumers transact on their mobile phones at least once a week. These behaviors span multiple industries, impacting how consumers engage with retail stores, order their morning coffees, arrange transportation and plan their next vacations.

While this change in consumer behavior has led to an increase in revenue through online and mobile channels, it has also come with a sinister partner: an increase in digital fraud losses.

In an increasingly anonymous purchasing environment, businesses and platforms need to take precautions to reduce risk while avoiding placing undue friction on good, low-risk customers. The key is connecting consumers’ digital information to their devices, understanding device risk and identifying signals of fraudulent behavior.

In this webinar, we will discuss:

• How the current state of eCommerce and Marketplaces has changed and what it means for digital fraud
• Why account takeover, loyalty fraud and other forms of fraud are rising and the impact to merchants and platforms
• A new, unique solution for improving digital fraud capture without negatively impacting good customers
• How one merchant uses device and digital insights to deliver smooth, efficient digital experiences

Putting digital trust and safety into operation is a daunting job. It affects everything from the development of online products to setting standards, deploying internal teams and enforcing policies. It’s also too big of a job to do alone. Implementing an effective digital trust and safety culture requires partnering with social, government, law enforcement and technology organizations. These third parties can share useful information and meaningful insight around risk and best practices.

At the core of trust in online engagements is digital identity verification. And at the core of identity verification is identity trust. If a user’s identity can’t be verified, how can that user be trusted? Even with verified identities, it’s even more important to establish that the individual behind the identity can be trusted. This guide provides best practices any organization can follow to develop effective trust and safety initiatives to protect their platform and their users.

It’s Time for a New Approach: Digital trust and safety is shaping up to become a critical, revolutionary issue for online organizations, communities and everyday users. The online world depends on being able to move forward with trusted interactions, which are only possible when you know who is real and who isn’t. The value of trust far outweighs the cost of fraud. Organizations that can successfully identify trust in online interactions will improve the customer experience and strengthen brand loyalty while extending customer lifetime value.
