Risk
v Reward: Balancing Fraud and Profit
12 February 2009,
Schiphol, Amsterdam

It’s
the classic Risk/Reward dilemma. Spending a great deal to acquire
customers, only to lose them to fraud processes or actual charge-backs!
So
how does a company weigh up
credit-card fraud detection measures against commercial pressures to
sell? This is the €500m issue that affects the entire
e-commerce business in Europe.
Join e-commerce
colleagues from other major vendors to learn best-practices,
compare
fraud rates, and discuss
how merchants can band together and help combat credit-card
fraud.
It is the second
Manufacturers D2C Europe round-table and is NO COST to attend.
And there are no vendors who will try to sell to you!
Risk v Reward:
Balancing Fraud and Profit

Event Summary
It is not sexy to
combat fraud. No one really wants to talk about it. But it is a huge
cost to the e-commerce business due to:
- fraud prevention
measures (checking each order)
- losing revenue
to chargebacks for fraudulent customers
- managing
chargebacks from credit card companies
- wasted marketing
money
- negative
customer experience - risk upsetting regular customers
For years the
credit card industry has pushed the risk of fraud on to merchants, and
in the current climate governments and banks seem to have
other priorities than help preventing credit card fraud. Gangs
of criminals are becoming increasingly sophisticated, and cross border
fraud
will likely increase.
Now it's time for
e-commerce merchants to stand up, and work together to provide some
industry solutions!
Please join this bold
industry-wide initiative led by Nike to work on joint ways to beat the
fraudsters.
