Paygilant and Scanovate Team-up to Fight Payment Fraud

TEL AVIV, Israel - July 16, 2019 - PRLog -- Scanovate, the leading Enterprise Identity and Compliance platform has joined forces with Paygilant's digital fraud prevention provider to offer consumers improved fraud prevention and identification, along with a serious edge in rooting out fraud.

Today's consumers expect a secured, frictionless payment experience at any time, from anywhere. To deliver optimal customer experience, financial institutions, eCommerce and digital wallet providers must make prompt transaction decisions, often in milliseconds. Incorrectly deny a transaction, and organizations are apt to lose a valued customer. Grant a purchase to a would-be fraudster?  A mistake that can cost the institutions in an adverse reputation and millions of dollars annually.

"From financial institutions to small merchants, the industry is struggling with authentication measures, knowing they must somehow strike that critical balance between security and customer convenience," said Ziv Cohen, Paygilant's CEO.

At the heart of authentication lies data. Paygilant's CMA future-state fraud prevention methodology utilizes its six intelligence sets combines device fingerprinting, behavioral biometrics and transaction data to ingest maximum fraud indicators. Incorporating Scanovate's cutting edge identity management solution bolsters fraud identification to new levels. Scanovate's technology enriches the data gathered by Paygilant helping determine the likelihood of fraud. The Paygilant – Scanovate partnership boasts the perfect marriage between identity and data to stop payment fraud.

"Payment fraud has become an epidemic," said Izhar Arieli, CEO at Scanovate.  "Paygilant's CMA methodology combined with Scanovate's industry-leading identity management solution will provide customers a tremendous advantage in identifying fraudulent applicants and enabling a better experience for everyone else."

"As much as digital data is the cornerstone of new-age authentication, context is key," said Guy Stiebel, Chief Architect at Scanovate. "The industry is not looking at just the transaction any more but rather the bigger picture of who, what, where and when without compromising user & data privacy. By augmenting Scanovates' advanced identity management with robust intelligence gathered by Paygilant provides the organization with the optimal processes to easily identify and distinguish between fraudulent activity and authentic
transactions. Organizations can simultaneously reduce false positives and detect more fraud."
