Navigating the Payments and Fraud Landscape: Global Data, Local Insights - Europe

This session will educate businesses either currently operating or expanding into LATAM on the most pressing issues in the region. Panelists will cover the regulatory landscape; top attack trends including scams and ATO; fraud scams with PIX and alternative payment methods; and how authentication and EMV 3DS is evolving in the region.

What we’ve seen emerge from the pandemic are two types of consumers – experienced online shoppers and new online shoppers. Merchants need to personalize their ecommerce stores to meet the needs of both groups. 

In this presentation, ClearSale’s EVP and Partner Rafael Lourenco will share important insights from ClearSale's State of Consumer Attitudes on Ecommerce, Fraud & CX annual study, which measures and tracks ongoing shifts in consumer behavior as ecommerce evolves. 

Get in-depth knowledge on what keeps customers coming back to your online store. It is no surprise that price and shipping are at the top of the list, but the customer experience is emerging as a deciding factor for success. Additionally, Rafael will share how payment barriers impact consumers and why payment options, such as digital wallets, BOPIS, BNPL are gaining massive popularity, especially among younger consumers.

Today, link analytics has been widely used across a variety of applications and industries (e.g., telecommunications, social networking, healthcare, finance ) to identify or predict the association of different entities behind the scenes. Companies with multiple product offerings use this technology to learn from their customers’ data to provide better user experiences. 

At Intuit, our customer recognition system (named Core ID, internally)  is focused on finding out if one customer or one family/close cluster uses one or more entities to register many accounts for products, such as QuickBooks Payments and QuickBooks Payroll customers. 

Normally, if the customer is identified with one set of entities, we can use existing solutions for ID-mapping, which rely on “exact” matching among entities to create clusters and graphs. However, this absolute linkage will fail if the customer is associated with multiple entities or changes entities (device IDs, IP address, etc.). 

To solve this problem, we have devised a methodology for recognizing one customer, or one household, from different angles by applying several AI-driven technologies. 

Intuit’s customer recognition system reveals relationships among different entities, serving as a complement to existing linkage-based graph analytics to more quickly identify or predict the association between customer accounts. Understanding these underlying connections more quickly is one strategy for building long-lasting customer relationships.

This session will review the challenges facing leaders in gaining funding to modernize their toolkits. The threat of fraud is ever evolving, however in times of reduced profitability, particularly for some merchant segments, it is becoming more difficult to stay up to date to fraud threats. With more technology and services providers than ever before, a full stack of solutions can become very expensive and inaccessible for those with smaller or shrinking budgets. We will discuss tactics to overcome missing your budget (either through fraud or expense) and share best practices in managing your vendors and budget allocations to make the most of your resources.

Ultimately, in the world of payments, success depends on human factors, like how consumers perceive and respond to risk, reward and effort.

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.

The email address still reigns in our increasingly digital-first transactional society. From opening bank accounts and credit cards to establishing app and ecommerce profiles, the email address remains a central proxy for identity.

Since the pandemic, digital transactions have increased exponentially, along with malicious activity throughout the customer journey. Companies are challenged to identify and address potential fraud with each account origination, app download, transaction, or account change. With email intelligence data and the right workflows companies can combat these threats.

AtData, along with Spec, will show you how to easily and quickly use email data to seamlessly manage risk throughout the customer journey.

Key Takeaways:

• Making your first-party digital data work for you

In this webinar, we’ll explore the preliminary findings from the 2023 Chargeback Field Report, which offers retailers, FIs, consumers and other stakeholders a look at the current state of chargebacks.

A cooperative effort by Chargebacks911® and Digital Commerce 360®, this study provides a snapshot of current fraud trends. The report highlights key pain points for merchants, and gathers qualitative data from consumers to gain perspective on how customers address transaction disputes. Finally, the report will help identify misconceptions and misunderstandings between merchants and consumers when it comes to chargebacks.
 

Attendees will get a sneak peek into the results before the report’s release, and will learn:

• What fraud threats are top of mind for merchants in 2023
• The current state of chargebacks and fraud in card-not-present transactions
• What new approaches  merchants are taking to fight and prevent illegitimate chargebacks 
• Consumer perspectives on chargebacks and what leads buyers to dispute purchases

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.

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.

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.

How iGaming Industry Growth and Fraud Correlate:

The global online gambling market size has a compound annual growth rate of 13.2%. Driven by the popularity of mobile gaming, the market value is projected to generate just over $117 billion by 2025.

This massive industry growth has led to fraud increases. For example, bonus abuse rose 72% between 2018 and 2019, and account takeovers increased by 90% from 2020 to 2021, costing an estimated $11.4 billion in damage. Balancing fraud prevention with a positive customer experience is a big challenge for operators. But there is a solution. And awareness of common types of fraud and how to stop them is the first step.
