Chose Kount, an Equifax company
Other choices are more expensive and difficult to incorporate, but Kount provides the best value. However, this convenience comes at a price. As a result of this decision, we've opted for a more difficult integration solution, but one that provides far superior fraud detection ā€¦

Anyone looking to increase acceptance rates for Ecommerce orders should look into an AI solution like Forter. And if you are replacing a manual system/legacy application already in place, this is a good option.

By now, the vast majority of payment gateways have implemented fraud prevention software like Kount. Contracting the solution directly and doing it faster and cheaper than other solutions on the market makes sense if you have several stores and/or sales.

  • It's a lot of data to digest (not a bad thing!), so any way they can break it up into more concise/digestible bits, I would personally find beneficial.

Kount is cheaper and less complex to integrate than other options. However, that ease comes with reduced accuracy. The other option we have chosen was much more complex to integrate, but also has way more accuracy in determining actual fraudulent transactions. This can be verified by a reduced number of calls to customer care.
