Reducing fraud without sacrificing customer experience
Solutions for the retail sector
Consumers expect their retailers to provide credit facilities as standard whether it’s in home improvements, clothing, biking or anything else for that matter. Yet for many retailers the associated fraud and credit checking duties present real organisational challenges. It feels as if there is a constant friction between the need for a seamless customer journey and the requirement for due diligence and in some instances complying with statutory obligations on anti-money laundering. It is this friction that the fraudsters look to exploit.
Using fraud and compliance checks (such as AML, PEPs and sanctions) in real-time at the point of application, you can ensure that you provide an exceptional onboarding experience for the majority of your customers whilst simultaneously identifying and preventing fraud in the small minority.
Inevitably the risk profiles of your customers change over time so it is critical that you continue to use predictive analytics as part of your ongoing in-life customer management. Helping you to stay one step ahead of the fraudsters.
