Incremental machine learning for fraud management

Protect your business’s reputation by using the next generation of fraud prevention for merchants to reduce fraud losses and end model degradation

The true cost of fraud for merchants

Payments fraud causes reputational damage, increases the risk of non-compliance with key regulations and negatively impacts the overall consumer experience. Traditional fraud mitigation methods have increased false positives and are not well-suited to the changing dynamics of the eCommerce landscape.

  • 38% of merchants lost at least 6% of their revenue to payments fraud in 2020
  • 59% of merchants saw an increase in eCommerce fraud in 2020 relating to card-not-present transactions
  • U.S. retail and eCommerce merchants paid $3.75 for every $1 of fraud
  • The cost of fraud for U.S. merchants has increased by 19.8% since 2019

The problem with traditional machine learning for fraud management

Traditional machine learning lacks the adaptability, automation and transparency merchants need for successful fraud management.

  • Traditional machine learning models are unable to evolve
  • The specialized skills needed to combat model degradation are increasingly difficult to come by
  • Merchants risk unequal treatment toward consumers
  • This leads to higher fraud losses and costs for merchants
