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.
