New Best Practice Guidelines to Help Card-not-present Retailers in Battle against Fraud
London, June 2, 2003
A new white paper for retailers struggling to control credit card fraud has been published by CyberSource Corporation, a leading provider of electronic payment and risk management solutions. The free guide, available at: www.cybersource.com/uk/whitepapers/, details strategies to prevent fraud and outlines the latest industry initiatives retailers should use to protect themselves.
"In the UK, more than 14 million consumers now spend £ 1 billion a month online," said Ariane Wilkinson, marketing director of CyberSource. "With credit card fraud increasing at 20 per cent a year for the past four years, successful retailers have to learn how to protect themselves. This guide is designed to give retailers all the information they need in the battle against fraud."
With contributions from some of the UK's major retailers, the white paper demonstrates how merchants can control their fraud levels without turning away legitimate customers, leading to an enhanced customer experience and ultimately increased sales.
James Roper, chief executive of IMRG (the Interactive Media in Retail Group) said, "If retailers are considering setting up an online operation or are already feeling the pain of fraud, they should read these guidelines. They not only inform retailers of the latest initiatives, industry commentary, and standards, but advise retailers of the best practices they cannot afford to ignore."
