North Payments Expands to the Nordics Market

North Payments’ New Anti-Fraud System Fraudonomics

Fraudonomics is an innovative user behaviour and device metrics programme to help online business processes more secure and less likely to become victims of fraud. Each person that visits the website is checked against a global database and finds out if user has multiple accounts, applications, or identities. In addition to highlighting fraudulent activity, the software shows what is happening in the background by displaying the server output and identifies returning devices regardless of browser or internet gateway.

The anti-fraud solution shows online reports or delivers insights via email. Advanced functions include real time insights, risk-profiling, and data analysis. The software is easily personalizable and offers 24/7 customer support, two features North Payment is known for. Businesses can set up their own rules when payments are declined to allow legitimate transactions to be processed and fraudulent transactions to be prevented instantly. Considering how costly and time consuming the consequences of becoming a victim of fraud are, software’s that help prevent the transaction from going through in the first place are becoming more and more popular. North Payments has recognized this trend and takes fraud prevention one step further with Fraudonomics.
