The EVC All-in-One module from Ellipse provides a display screen and microcontroller that can be integrated into the existing card manufacturing process to provide dynamic security code numbers that better protect against ecommerce fraud, including false declines. No battery is required.
In business since 1998, Equinix operates 240 data centers worldwide in more than 70 metropolitan areas in 32 countries. It provides secure, low-latency network support services to stock markets, payment card networks, central banks, national payment systems, Tier 1 banks and other clients.
Purchase volume (spending for goods and services), cash advances (against lines of credit) and cash withdrawals (from cardholder funds on deposit) tied to global brand, domestic-market-only and private label credit, debit and prepaid cards equaled $48.955 trillion in total volume worldwide in 2021, an increase of 16.6% from 2020.
Protocols developed by the Fido Alliance and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) have been combined to create public-key/private-key cryptographic message exchanges called passkeys, a replacement for knowledge-based passwords used to authenticate online transactions.
Merchants that sell online and provide immediate delivery of their goods or services, sometimes called on-demand or quick-commerce merchants, are experiencing rising losses to fraud. Those losses are particularly painful because profit margins in this sector, which includes the delivery of food and alcoholic beverages, fashion and travel, are often thin.
Virtual numbers (tokens) are used as a substitute for a cardholder’s primary account number (PAN) in payment wallets (in phones and watches) and when stored at a merchant’s data center (to handle recurring purchases) as well as in nonpayment applications to replace personally identifiable information (PII).
Providing a risk assessment on consumer purchases from Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) is the aim of Crypto Secure, a service Mastercard is making available to card issuers worldwide. VASPs are 3,600 crypto exchanges and other companies that sell digital currencies.
Real-world applications that leverage the great power of quantum computing technology are not years away from making a commercial impact as many IT department heads believe. Financial institutions including Bank of Canada, BBVA and CaixaBank are already working with the technology, which uses the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that are too complex for legacy, silicon-based “classical” computers.
The FICO Blaze Advisor decision rules management system has been used in a variety of markets including financial services and telcos for more than 20 years to automate the onboarding of new customers, support lending, facilitate insurance claims and other uses.
Fighting fraud is expensive for online merchants. At merchants that sell physical goods, the combined cost of packaging and shipping, implementing fraud fighting technology, the internal staff needed to oversee questionable transactions as well as chargeback management and resolution can more than double the monetary value of the goods lost to criminals.
