One size does not fit all. That's the same when we talk about SCA from a merchant perspective. Shoppers are different and each transaction is unique from a security standpoint. In this session we will discuss the outcomes of applying SCA in a selective & optimized way to boost conversion, while minimizing fraud exposure.

A brief overview of the authentication regulatory landscape and global SCA mandates, and top predictions on what will be included in PSD3 regulations. 

Hear from the FIDO Alliance and its stakeholders to get a deep-dive into the topic of passwordless authentication. Hear how major merchants and online service providers are actively collaborating on making web logins more secure and usable for all consumers. We will discuss challenges with legacy approaches; the move away from passwords; and new technologies that are emerging to support this. We will look at this in the context of consumer preferences and regulations.

Bot protection is the foundation of online fraud prevention. With the proliferation of bots and their potential to cause financial losses and reputational damage, it is crucial for website owners to defend themselves against automated threats.

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.

Leading subscription companies are constantly evaluating and optimising their payment flow. They use data to make decisions in areas such as checkout design and feature development.

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.

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

Consumers are changing how they discover, try and buy products and services. This colossal shift has resulted in companies reimagining what they do, how they do it and who they partner with to create lasting and revenue-driving customer relationships. Every industry is going through these changes and investing in new shopping models: Direct to consumers, marketplaces, connected cars, value-add healthcare and new technology platforms including localized drone delivery and vending machine innovations. These changes have a pace and complexity that’s driving tremendous value up and down the value chain.

While companies are investing in digitization and innovation, many are asking about the ROI and monetization potential of these new shopping models. The answer isn’t simple, but brands of the future will separate themselves from brands of the past by solving for the unique needs of each service provider in their ecosystem – and particularly their payment needs.

In the current operating environment, with economic growth slowing and interest rates rising, it is more important than ever for businesses to develop alternative revenue streams. That’s not only about meeting your customers wherever they are, but making those engagements as seamless as possible. One way to do this is through frictionless payments options or by embedding helpful financial services directly in the user experience. The goal is to first connect with customers, and then make their journey as intuitive and convenient as it can be. In this issue, we look at how commerce is evolving. There has been a major shift, with new kinds of online marketplaces transforming almost every industry, as our feature starting on p.26 explores.
