Intellicheck is offering fraud fighting technology solution Retail ID Web at no cost for 90 days to banks, credit card issuers, payment providers and retailers as online fraud surges in the COVID-19 stay-at-home and limited reopening environment.

Intellicheck CEO Bryan Lewis said fraud is attacking the economic backbone of communities nationwide. “Criminals don’t stop committing identity theft for a pandemic. With stores closed, they have just accelerated online fraud. Given social distancing and curbside pickup, we are seeing an increase in the use of stolen credit card numbers for buy online, pickup in store transactions. The CDC distancing guidelines also mean less bank visits and more calls to the bank call center – leading to more account takeover and account opening losses.”
