Don't Let Fraudsters Ruin Online Shopping for Your Good Customers!

Risk and customer experience are two sides of the same coin. As a merchant, zero risk and 100 percent frictionless customer experiences are ideal, but usually unachievable. So, how do we embrace the right balance?

This presentation covers:

• How to reduce risk where it starts – at the top of the sales funnel
• Use-case based strategy to strike balance between risk and response in the funnel

This presentation answers the question- what are the latest techniques you can apply to prevent fraud and ensure a frictionless journey for your customers?

Join Overstock as they demonstrate case examples of how monitoring consumer behavior in advance of the payment, capturing key data elements and leveraging ML models can detect bot attacks, account manipulation, and policy violations - enabling legitimate consumers to sail through the process and target proper risk controls to prevent and stop fraud.

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.

In this compelling conversation, the MRC partners with NORA (National Online Retailers Association), Australia for a conversation comparing the 2022 Global Payments & Fraud Survey (developed by Cybersource, Verifi, and MRC) to the soon-to-be-released AusPayNet 2022 Fraud Report.

High-risk merchants categories such as CBD, crypto, gambling, sports betting, and adult content are facing growing scrutiny from their payments and banking partners due to compliance-related concerns. 
 
To mitigate this scrutiny and potential areas of risk, merchants in these high-risk categories are using innovative risk mitigation tools and next-generation geolocation data and geofencing. These vital tools enable high-risk merchants to confidently grow their businesses and accept transactions – even as regulations and compliance requirements increase. 

Learning Objectives:

• The most effective tools to mitigate potential compliance risks and protect your organization
• How precise location intelligence can instill confidence for your payment partners when working with higher risk merchants
• Latest regulatory and policy developments impacting high-risk merchants

Bots are one of the main weapons of choice of bad actors, particularly for malicious activities such as account takeover fraud (ATO) and identity theft. Versatile and adaptable, bots can stage a wide range of malicious activities, ranging from credential stuffing attacks using information exposed in data leaks to the creation of multiple online identities.

For businesses, the combination of bot threats can pose serious problems - especially when it comes to customer satisfaction and company reputation. 

This webinar will discuss how bots attack, the negative consequences they can have on an organization and how merchants can protect themselves.

Learning Objectives:

1. How bots attack (and types of bots)

2. The cost of bot fraud

3. Examples of ATO bot attacks

4. How businesses can fight back

Global losses from payment fraud are steadily increasing, year-over-year. So how can eCommerce businesses detect and prevent it effectively? Build an in-house solution or outsource it to a 3rd-party?

Better fraud prevention, all around.

Many organizations rely on two-factor authentication (2FA) using one‑time passcodes (OTPs) sent by Short Message Service (SMS) to authenticate banking and ecommerce transactions. 2FA performed this way can be fast and easy, but SMS wasn’t designed to be a security tool.

Learn how your organization can leverage voice biometrics to protect customers and your brand by building the highest levels of protection, trust and loyalty.

KYC has its roots in the early 2000s in an effort to make it much more difficult for criminals to launder money through banks, insurers, and adjacent institutions, as well as to stop terrorism funding. However this approach has been made more and more difficult to help online businesses verify fraudsters.

Combined with social media lookup and strict KYC checks, we'll be looking at how we can implement better restrictions of fraudsters and help AML efforts.
