“This rapid growth in eCommerce has increased fraud activity dramatically. Guaranteed Payments brings together two powerful sources of transaction intelligence—the Worldpay data stream produced from processing 40 billion orders annually and the Signifyd Commerce Network of thousands of merchants worldwide,” said Vicky Bindra, Chief Product Officer at FIS. “Together, we have a powerful solution currently found nowhere else in the market that has the unique ability to combine fraud protection with increased approvals to enhance payment optimization and the overall user experience.”
Guaranteed Payments utilizes machine learning and transaction intelligence to analyze thousands of signals, including identity features such as email addresses and payment credentials to instantly distinguish legitimate orders from fraudulent orders, helping merchants optimize revenue through reduced false fraud declines and instant fulfillment.
“Our recent Consumer Sentiment Survey showed that 38 percent of consumers would not shop with a merchant again if they had one bad online experience, such as a declined or delayed order,’’ said Raj Ramanand, CEO and Co-founder at Signifyd. “Merchants using Signifyd experience a 5-9 percent increase in top line conversion on average.5 With this solution, customer retention works hand in hand with fraud elimination to unlock incredible revenue growth opportunities.”
