Leading U.S. Fraud Prevention Service Provider Expands into UK/EU Market Filling Much Needed Void in Previously Offered Tools
CHICAGO and LONDON, February 23, 2010 - Accertify, a leading provider of enterprise-wide transaction screening
solutions, today announced that its industry-leading Interceptas platform is
now available in the United Kingdom and European Union. Fraud and business
development experts Andy Lee and Neil Caldwell have joined Accertify, based
in the U.K.
In the U.S., Interceptas(R) is setting the industry standard as the most
comprehensive transaction screening solution available. The platform is
flexible enough to screen any type of payment transaction or other account
activity through web, call center, point-of-sale and mobile channels.
In a matter of months, Accertify clients have experienced reductions in
fraud of as much as 73 percent, reductions in manual reviews of 50 percent
and improvements in customer service and customer service costs.
"Accertify has quickly become the premier provider of transaction
screening and online fraud prevention solutions in the U.S. We've now signed
a large, U.K.-based customer and aim to accomplish the same goal here by
helping merchants combat the growing fraud challenge," Lee said. "Based on my
10 years of experience in fighting fraud, Accertify's platform is the best
solution available worldwide. Its comprehensive, integrated approach, coupled
with its advanced data management capabilities and flexible design, gives it
a real edge in the European market."
After more than doubling its client base last year, Accertify protects a
growing array of industry leaders and global brand names in the airline,
retail, social networking, event ticketing, electronics, online gaming,
digital downloads, money transfer and other industries.
"Accertify is growing exponentially in the U.S. and it's very exciting to
be launching Interceptas into the European market," Caldwell said.
"Managing online fraud continues to be a significant and growing cost for
European merchants and the introduction of Chip and PIN has driven more fraud
to the web. But until now, European merchants have had few choices available
for online fraud prevention," Caldwell said. "With Accertify's expansion
here, they now have access to the industry's most advanced and effective
fraud-fighting platform. They are going to be amazed when they see what
Accertify has to offer."
Lee, European Director of Professional Services, is a skilled KYC and
fraud specialist with expertise in the end-to-end process design and
management of Pan European KYC and fraud management strategies, including
prevention, detection, investigation and analysis. His experience spans the
retail, telecommunications and banking sectors. He has developed and directed
fraud prevention departments for online retailers and financial services
organizations, including Ivobank and Lastminute.com, where he designed the
KYC and fraud and risk strategy and led high-performance teams.
Caldwell, European Business Development Director, has broad experience in
financial services, e-wallet functionality, prepaid programs, Pan-European
product launches, international business development, KYC, anti money
laundering and fraud/risk decisioning.
