Presentations

As the payment ecosystem evolves and new regulations emerge, industry leaders are separating themselves by taking a proactive approach to pre-authorisation screening. Rather than adding customer friction to the transaction process, companies can leverage additional insights in their machine learning models to verify transactions earlier in the flow to improve the customer experience and fight fraud. This session examines what pre-authorisation screening is and why companies are utilising it, along with recommendations for companies considering such an approach.
