Feedzai Unveils State Of Payment Fraud and Surpasses $750 Billion Payment Transactions Globally

San Mateo, Calif. – October 30, 2014 –Feedzai, a data science company that uses real-time, machine-based learning to analyze big data to make commerce safe, today announced it has surpassed analysis of data representing $750 billion in payment volume, and has found that the top date for card present fraud in 2013 was Black Friday.

In the analysis of its data, which represents over 17.5 billion transactions in both card present (CP) and card not present (CNP) environments, Feedzai also found the following:

  • CNP Fraudsters are Bigger Spenders: The average CNP fraudster spends about $900 per card in five days, while CP fraudsters take seven days to spend an average of $450.
  • CNP Fraud Spikes in November, CP Fraud Dominates Black Friday: In 2013, the 10 days with the most CNP fraud occurred in November. More than three times more CNP fraud occurs in November than in June (the month with the least CNP fraud). None of the top CNP fraud days in November were on Black Friday because they were busy with CP fraud. Shoppers—and fraudsters— flood brick-and-mortar retailers making Black Friday the day with the most CP fraud.
  • Hot Hours for Fraudulent Activity: The most CNP fraud occurs between 12-1 pm, while CP fraud is more likely to occur between 4-5
  • More Reasons to Hate Mondays: The highest rate of overall fraud occurs on Monday, and Sunday is the day that the fewest fraudulent transactions occ The most CP fraud occurs on Saturday, 42% higher than on Sunday, and the most CNP fraud occurs on Monday, 92% higher than on Sunday.
  • Stolen Milk and Laptops: Grocery stores/supermarkets (25%) and home supply warehouse stores (8%) are top targets for CP fra Top merchant categories for CNP fraud include electronics stores (11%), discount stores (10.2%) and computers, peripherals and software (7.8%).

“As we approach the holiday season, we are bound to see more evidence in fraud, especially with CNP transactions, and it will likely be bigger this season than last,” said Nuno Sebastiao, Chief Executive Officer of Feedzai. “Fraudsters are also quickly shifting behaviors and targets as shoppers change behaviors. We expect that we will continue to see more cross-channel fraud this season as shoppers look to save time by ordering online and picking up in-store.”

Feedzai Fraud Prevention That Learns™ software uses big data, including mobile and social data streams, to create deep learning profiles for each customer, merchant, location or POS device, product, with up to a three-year history of data behind it.

This data helps acquirers, issuers and retailers mitigate risk, guard every transaction and preserve the customer experience.

Feedzai and Encap Security Announce Strategic Partnership

San Mateo, Calif. – October 27, 2014 –Feedzai, a company that uses data science and behavioral profiling to prevent fraud, and Encap Security, the mobile authentication specialist, have announced a new partnership designed to support banks and merchants in making modern banking and commerce safe. The partnership will make Feedzai’s proven, machine-based fraud prevention platform compatible with Encap Security’s bank-grade, smarter authentication platform.

With the partnership, the two companies expand their ecosystem of pre-integrated, compatible solutions for banks and retailers to engage and protect the new mobile- empowered consumer—whether that’s for initial account opening or ongoing transacting and buying.

Feedzai uses deep behavioral profiling and big data science in its fraud management platform in order to establish a 360-degree safety net around every customer.

“Consumers are using more devices to conduct financial transactions and at the same time, are demanding more protection but with less intrusion into their commerce journey,” said Nuno Sebastiao, CEO, Feedzai. “Adding smart authentication and artificially intelligent risk engines on the back end offers safety without being obtrusive and penalizing good consumers, thus making modern commerce and banking safe—whether that’s online, in-person, or on mobile devices, anywhere and anytime.”

Encap Security turns any personal mobile device into a security credential, eliminating the burden of costly and cumbersome customer authentication methods such as SMS codes or hardware tokens.

“Consumers deserve a safe online experience whether you’re banking or making a purchase online or with your mobile device. Outdated technology such as passwords, SMS codes, and software tokens are not going to cut it,” said Adam Dolby, vice president of business development, Encap Security. “It’s time to think about security by focusing on the customer, not on the product. Consumers should have protection at all touch points where fraud can happen, without sacrificing security or convenience. The combination of Encap Security and Feedzai allows businesses to have an intelligent approach to verifying user identity and intent without causing any pain at all – in fact we’ll eliminate it.”

The software will help them to improve customer service by providing clear scoring explanations that provide for expedited reviews, reduce chargebacks and works on any channel – in-store, online or on mobile.

Feedzai Launches App on Shopify and Bigcommerce Platforms

San Mateo, Calif. – August 5, 2014 – Feedzai, a data science company that uses real- time, machine-based learning to analyze big data to prevent fraud, today announced that it has developed ecommerce apps for the Shopify and Bigcommerce platforms. The only fraud prevention solution available for true omnichannel commerce, Feedzai’s fraud prevention software is now available on two leading ecommerce platforms in order to help online retailers identify potentially fraudulent transactions.

The Feedzai apps on Shopify and Bigcommerce provide online retailers with real- time information to determine the legitimacy of an order. Users of the app see transactions flagged for suspected fraud. Users can dive deeper to see a list of reasons to block or allow the transaction, allowing the retailer to decide which transactions to accept or decline. Retailers have access to the same bank-grade risk engine used by payment networks and financial institutions.

“Fraud is crossing channels where data breached from stores is then used to exploit ecommerce channels and vice versa,” said Nuno Sebastiao, chief executive officer from Feedzai. “We see that 68% of cross-channel fraud starts online before migrating instore, so want to give all ecommerce retailers access to the tools necessary to help them protect their business. The growth of ecommerce fraud is disrupting the status quo for everyone, on or offline.”

The new Feedzai apps feature the following:

  • Behavioral analysis, IP geo-location, device ID recognition, disposable emails, among other criteria, to determine the risk associated with each sales order
  • Simple user interface scores each order in real-time
  • List of human-friendly reasons to block or allow a transaction, helping retailers to decide to accept or reject an order
  • Street level maps that shows the location of the IP address from which the transaction was created, which is cross-checked with the shipping address
  • Email reports that detail the transaction summary for a set time period (day, week, etc.)
  • Ease of installation; retailers are up and running just by installing the Feedzai app

Feedzai Fraud Prevention That Learns™ technology fuses big data and machine learning to allow analysts to predict and prevent electronic payment loss in real time based on behavioral analysis and understanding of the way consumers behave when they make purchases, online, in-store or from mobile devices. The software uses big data, including mobile and social data streams, to create deep learning profiles for each customer, merchant, location or POS device, product, with up to a three-year history of data behind it.
