Versatility in rule variables allows for customization and optimization.
All 3DS systems assess the risks of all transactions, including closed cards. This drives additional workload for operations. Having said that, CA’s partnership with several authorization providers, such as TSYS, will help us to eradicate this issue. These 3DS secure systems act independently from a bank’s man authorisation system ( Falcon, TSYS, SAS Raptor etc), and as a result they end up in position where they end up attempting to authenticate transactions that are closed card as they have no visibility of these type of statuses. This essentially means that these fraud system generate alerts on closed card , wasting operational resource. This is the same for all systems in this space inc RSA. Having said that there have been recent developments in this space that have allowed authorisation platform to work together with the 3DS system via an API. Meaning that the 3DS system can pass the data to the Authorisation system who in turn will make the decision, instead of the decision being made via a 3DS platform. One example of this is the TSYS/CA relationship.

Features a large database of fraud signals and indicators to stop fraud in its tracks
At my old company, I used to use a tool called Sift. It's another great tool, but I prefer Kount. The major differences between the two solutions are how they're laid out and how fast you can gather as much information as possible. I personally prefer Kount — that's my personal preference. I've worked with both platforms for many years. I personally prefer Kount for the way that they display information and for the variety and flexibility they offer when it comes to the rules — from very simple to very complex. Kount is better designed for catching fraud, detecting fraud, and preventing fraud. Sift is also great; you will not go wrong if you go with Sift, but I personally prefer Kount.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"For us, it enables the bank or the issuer to offer their customers protection on their online transactions."
"I think for us, the value that we get out of CA is their effective scheme diagnostics."
"The service works as described, the Admin console is very good along with customer service, and"
"In terms of the fraud that we see on the card site, card not present fraud, the person gives contribution to what the total fraud has increased substantially."
"I use this product to extract cases from there and then send it to Ops to review and analyze."
"It's an in-depth, all-in-one solution."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to create your own ruleset and edit it whenever you want. Their reporting functionality is very helpful. It's really robust."
"The initial setup was absolutely straightforward. Within a week I was fully working."
 

Cons

"This solution can improve around the challenge rates and the failures."
"I had wish it would be this one, this authentication for fingerprint and face would be promising."
"The service is improving with the implementation of 3D Secure 2.0."
"I think improvements for us, it's making it simple enough that anybody can understand how it works."
"Probably having more flexibility and working on usability and how we use the solution."
"They could do a little bit better with chargeback management. There are other solutions out there that I've heard about, like Accertify that have a better chargeback platform where they're integrated more with the banks or in terms of how the workflow is and how you can respond to chargebacks."
"The rule system and automation could be expanded a little bit more."
"The time that is taken to go to Kount and come back should be in the order of around 100 milliseconds or less. And our context was taking around 200 to 300 milliseconds. We didn't want the extra load of 100 milliseconds to happen, so if the two rounds of stability could be cut to one, that would be very helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Utilize the transaction pricing model versus the active cards because the ability to monitor active cards hasn’t been good."
"I think the pricing is great — I think it's totally worth what they're charging because the benefits are great."
