In this month’s issue of The Nilson Report, Signifyd and ThreatMetrix are featured in an article titled “Guaranteeing Online Payments Against Fraud.” For the full article, please visit The Nilson Report (subscription required).

The article outlines how Signifyd is one of only three companies offering a guarantee against fraud losses for ecommerce merchants. It explains how Signifyd’s machine learning reviews thousands of data points in real time and how merchants are reimbursed for chargebacks, including taxes and shipping costs.

To eliminate fraud losses for thousands ecommerce merchants, Signifyd provides a 100% financial guarantee against fraud and chargebacks. With this protection in place, merchants are able to accept more orders and significantly reduce their workload from manual order reviews. Since orders are guaranteed against fraud in real-time, merchants can automate fulfillment to ship orders out to customers faster, leading to fewer cancellations and higher customer satisfaction. More details about Fraud Protection from fraud are available here.

To clarify, ThreatMetrix does not provide guaranteed fraud protection. The article briefly explains Signifyd’s strategic partnership with ThreatMetrix. ThreatMetrix verifies more than 20 billion transactions a year and holds information on a billion people across the world. ThreatMetrix analyzes connections between devices and locations, personal information, cybersecurity threats and other consumer behavior to protect its customers against fraud. Through the partnership ThreatMetrix will promote Signifyd’s Guaranteed Fraud Protection to its customers and smaller merchants will be able to access ThreatMetrix through their link to Signifyd.

The article begins and concludes with an interesting analogy to Signifyd’s guarantee service and the guarantee against fraud losses from checks that brick and mortar retailers have been able to purchase since the 1970s.
