Newest technology doesn’t mean best when it comes to stopping fraud I recently attended the Merchant Risk Conference in Las Vegas, which brings together online merchants and industry vendors including payment service providers and fraud detection solution providers. The conference continues to grow year to year – similar to the fraud and risk challenges within the industry. In fact, we just released analysis, that we’ve seen fraud rates spike to 33% in the past year. This year, the exhibit hall was full of new names on the scene – evidence that there is a growing market for controlling risk and fraud in the e-commerce space. I heard from a few merchants at the conference that there were some “cool” new technologies out to help combat fraud. Things like machine learning, selfies and other two-factor authentication tools were all discussed as the latest in the fight against fraud. The problem is, many of these “cool” new technologies aren’t yet efficient enough at identifying and stopping fraud. Cool, yes. Effective, no. Sure, you can ask your customer to take a selfie and send it to you for facial recognition scanning. But, can you imagine your mother-in-law trying to manage this process? Machine Learning, while very promising, still has some room to grow in truly identifying fraud while minimizing the false positives. Many of these “anomaly detection” systems look for just that – anomalies. The problem is, we’re fighting motivated and creative fraudsters who are experts at avoiding detection and can beat anomaly detection. I do not doubt that you can stop fraud if you introduce some of these new technologies. The problem is, at what cost? The trick is stopping fraud with efficiency – to stop the fraud and not disrupt the customer experience. Companies, now more than ever, are competing based on customer experience. Adding any amount of friction to the buying process puts your revenue at risk. Consider these tips when evaluating and deploying fraud detection solutions for your online business. Evaluate solutions based on all metrics What is the fraud detection rate? What impact will it have on approvals? What is the false positive rate and impact on investigations? Does the attack rate decline after implementing the solution? Is the process detectable by fraudsters? What friction is introduced to the process? Use all available data at your disposal to make a decision Does the consumer exist? Can we validate the person’s identity? Is the web-session and user-entered data consistent with this consumer? Step up authentication but limit customer friction Is the technology appropriate for your audience (i.e. a selfie, text-messaging, document verification, etc…)? Are you using jargon in your process? In the end, any solution can stop 100% of the fraud – but at what cost. It’s a balance – a balance between detection and friction. Think about customer friction and the impact on customer satisfaction and revenue.
Florida, Delaware, Oregon and New York were the riskiest states for e-commerce fraud Miami accounted for the most ZIP Codes ranked across shipping and billing fraud. Where is e-commerce fraud taking place? Everywhere. Last year we reported that 2016 e-commerce fraud attack rates were on pace to surpass the 2015 totals. At the time, the fraud attack rates for the first half of 2016 appeared to be at least 15% higher than the 2015 total. That percentage turned out to be much higher as e-commerce fraud increased to 33% in 2016 compared to 2015 according to Experian data. View our e-commerce fraud heat map See the top 100 riskiest cities in the United States. Download the list today Experian analyzed millions of e-commerce transactions from our 2016 client data to identify fraud attack rates for both shipping and billing locations across the United States. The data reveals the increase of e-commerce attacks in 2016, the geographical differences, and whether a credit card has been stolen or personal credentials have been compromised. Fraud attack rates represent the attempted fraudulent e-commerce transactions against the population of overall e-commerce orders. The 2016 e-commerce fraud attack rate data shows: Miami, FL., is where the riskiest ZIP™ Code comes from for both shipping and billing e-commerce fraud. Miami accounted for 17 of the top 100 ZIP™ Codes for shipping fraud and 20 of the top 100 for billing fraud. 70% of e-commerce billing fraud came from three states – Florida, California and New York – based on the sum of fraud attacks Delaware, Oregon, and Florida were the top-ranked states for billing and shipping e-commerce fraud in 2016 Oregon and Delaware saw an increase in e-commerce billing fraud attacks of over 200%. Many of the higher-risk ZIP™ codes and cities are located near a large port-of-entry city or airport, making them ideal locations for reshipping fraudulent goods. This includes Miami, Houston, New York City, and Los Angeles, perhaps allowing criminals to move stolen goods more effectively. All those cities are ranked among the riskiest cities for both measures of fraud attacks. .dataTb{margin:20px auto;width:100%}.dataTb:after{clear:both}.dataTb table{}.dataTb td,.dataTb th{border:1px solid #ddd;padding:.8em}.dataTb th{background:#F4F4F4}.tbL{float:left;width:49%}.tbR{float:right;width:49%;margin:0 0 0 2%} Top 10 riskiest Billing ZIP™ Codes for 2016 33198 Miami, FL 33192 Miami, FL 33195 Miami, FL 33166 Miami, FL 91733 South El Monte, CA 33191 Miami, FL 91746 La Puente, CA 17064 Port Reading, NJ 66025 Eudora, KS 89423 Minden, NV Source: Experian.com Top 10 riskiest Shipping ZIP™ Codes for 2016 33198 Miami, FL 33166 Miami, FL 33191 Miami, FL 33195 Miami, FL 77036 Houston, TX 33192 Miami, FL 91733 South El Monte, CA 91746 La Puente, CA 66025 Eudora, KS 62694 Winchester, IL Source: Experian.com What is driving credit card fraud trends? The biggest component of this trend is the fact that 2016 was a record year for data breaches. There were 1,093 data breaches last year, a 40% increase from 2015, according to the Identity Theft Resource Center. The recent Federal Trade Commission (FTC) 2016 Consumer Sentinel Network Data Book, announced a jump in consumers who reported that their stolen data was used for credit card fraud, from 16% in 2015 to more than 32% in 2016. The record number of data breaches is a signal that future fraudulent activities will take place. This is further reflected by the increase of consumers reporting credit card fraud to the FTC in 2016. So far in 2017, that same trend continues as the total number of breaches has increased 56% compared to the same time in 2016. See our 2016 e-commerce fraud infographic Compare fraud attack rates — and more — from 2015 to 2016 in our latest infographic. Download today Why are there geographical differences in ecommerce fraud? Most e-commerce merchants have basic controls in place to validate that transaction billing information matches a particular account holder using things like the address verification service. So from a billing or victim perspective, attackers typically leverage the legitimate cardholder billing details in a fraudulent order. In order to maximize successful fraud attacks, they need to make the transaction appear as normal as possible. But from a shipping perspective, those same fraudsters often can’t rely on shipping to the cardholder’s address and trying to intercept the package. To acquire the proceeds of their fraudulent transactions, this is where attackers get creative, often using re-shippers or shipping “mules”, freight forwarders, or delivery addresses that do not raise suspicion but are nearby international ports or airports so the fraudulent order can be quickly picked up and shipped to its final destination (often overseas). That’s why we see such a big disparity between attacks by a victim or billing address being mostly evenly spread across the country vs. shipping attacks, which are mostly concentrated in coastal states with major port cities and airports. Delaware and Oregon are two exceptions to this flattening of victim attacks, as both states saw a more than 200% increase in billing attacks with only modest increases in shipping attacks. From a shipping perspective, 10 states saw at least a 100% increase in fraudulent orders, having a significant impact on the overall population attack rate. .dataTb{margin:20px auto;width:100%}.dataTb:after{clear:both}.dataTb table{}.dataTb td,.dataTb th{border:1px solid #ddd;padding:.8em}.dataTb th{background:#F4F4F4}.tbL{float:left;width:49%}.tbR{float:right;width:49%;margin:0 0 0 2%} Top 5 riskiest Billing fraud States State Fraud Attack Rate Delaware 69.0 Oregon 65.7 Florida 41.1 New York 28.0 Nevada 27.0 Source: Experian.com Top 5 riskiest Shipping fraud States State Fraud Attack Rate Delaware 44.8 Oregon 43.2 Florida 34.2 Alaska 26.2 Washington, D.C. 25.8 Source: Experian.com Has the EMV switch affected fraud ecommerce rates at all? The increase in e-commerce fraud follows a similar trend pattern from countries that previously rolled out EMV cards – UK, France, Australia, and Canada – that also saw gradual increases in card-not-present fraud. We suspect that the EMV liability switch and increased adoption by merchants of chip-and-pin enabled terminals have had a profound impact on driving up e-commerce attacks. Fraudsters that typically relied on committing counterfeit fraud have shifted their focus to the digital channels where they could have more success. As more fraud attackers enter a rapidly growing mobile and online commerce space, that makes it even more difficult for merchants to differentiate their good customers from the sophisticated fraud attackers. Our annual fraud attack rate data brings to light the increase of e-commerce attacks over the last year across the US. This latest data is a strong indicator that other types of fraud have already occurred and can help businesses understand how to better protect themselves and their customers. Whether a credit card has been stolen or personal credentials have been compromised. Businesses need to expect an increase of e-commerce fraud over time and to be prepared. If I run an ecommerce business what should I do to prevent fraud attacks like this? Businesses need to anticipate an increase of e-commerce fraud over time and to be prepared. The value of employing a multi-layered approach to fraud prevention especially when it comes to authenticating consumers to validate transactions cannot be understated. By looking at all the points of the customer journey, businesses can better protect themselves from fraud, while maintaining a good consumer experience. Most importantly, having the right fraud solution in place can help businesses prevent losses both in dollars and reputation. That layered fraud solution should pair transactional data elements with details about the user (and their previous history and behaviors), the device (and how they typically interact with the business and even understanding what the customers are purchasing and how it relates to the overall population of orders. Machine learning and automation are great complements in a holistic hybrid approach that pairs human intelligence and business rules with machine-based recommendations. We highly recommend that organizations partner with fraud experts who have visibility across peer organizations, the challenges facing the industry, and have been instrumental in solving those problems alongside merchants.

With the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Show set to kickoff later this week, it seemed fitting to explore how the shifting dynamics of the used vehicle market might impact dealers and buyers over the coming year. Shedding light on some of the registration and finance trends, as well as purchasing behaviors, can help dealers and manufacturers stay ahead of the curve. And just like that, the Special Report: Automotive Consumer Trends Report was born. As I was sifting through the data, one of the trends that stood out to me was the neck-and-neck race between Millennials and Gen X for supremacy in the used vehicle market. Five years ago, in 2019, Millennials were responsible for 33.3% of used retail registrations, followed by Gen X (29.5%) and Baby Boomers (26.8%). Since then, Baby Boomers have gradually fallen off, and Gen X continues to close the already minuscule gap. Through October 2024, Millennials accounted for 31.6%, while Gen X accounted for 30.4%. But trends can turn on a dime if the last year offers any indication. Over the last rolling 12 months (October 2023-October 2024), Gen X (31.4%) accounted for the majority of used vehicle registrations compared to Millennials (30.9%). Of course, the data is still close, and what 2025 holds is anyone’s guess, but understanding even the smallest changes in market share and consumer purchasing behaviors can help dealers and manufacturers adapt and navigate the road ahead. Although there are similarities between Millennials and Gen X, there are drastic differences, including motivations and preferences. Dealers and manufacturers should engage them on a generational level. What are they buying? Some of the data might not come as a surprise but it’s a good reminder that consumers are in different phases of life, meaning priorities change. Over the last rolling 12 months, Millennials over-indexed on used vans, accounting for more than one-third of registrations. Meanwhile, Gen X over-indexed on used trucks, making up nearly one-third of registrations, and Gen Z over-indexed on cars (accounting for 17.1% of used car registrations compared to 14.6% of overall used vehicle registrations). This isn’t surprising. Many Millennials have young families and may need extra space and functionality, while Gen Xers might prefer the versatility of the pickup truck—the ability to use it for work and personal use. On the other hand, Gen Zers are still early in their careers and gravitate towards the affordability and efficiency of smaller cars. Interestingly, although used electric vehicles only make up a small portion of used retail registrations (less than 1%), Millennials made up nearly 40% over the last rolling 12 months, followed by Gen X (32.2%) and Baby Boomers (15.8%). The market at a bird’s eye view Pulling back a bit on the used vehicle landscape, over the last rolling 12 months, CUVs/SUVs (38.9%) and cars (36.6%) accounted for the majority of used retail registrations. And nearly nine-in-ten used registrations were non-luxury vehicles. What’s more, ICE vehicles made up 88.5% of used retail registrations over the same period, while alternative-fuel vehicles (not including BEVs) made up 10.7% and electric vehicles made up 0.8%. At the finance level, we’re seeing the market shift ever so slightly. Since the beginning of the pandemic, one of the constant narratives in the industry has been the rising cost of owning a vehicle, both new and used. And while the average loan amount for a used non-luxury vehicle has gone up over the past five years, we’re seeing a gradual decline since 2022. In 2019, the average loan amount was $22,636 and spiked $29,983 in 2022. In 2024, the average loan amount reached $28,895. Much of the decline in average loan amounts can be attributed to the resurgence of new vehicle inventory, which has resulted in lower used values. With new leasing climbing over the past several quarters, we may see more late-model used inventory hit the market in the next few years, which will most certainly impact used financing. The used market moving forward Relying on historical data and trends can help dealers and manufacturers prepare and navigate the road ahead. Used vehicles will always fit the need for shoppers looking for their next vehicle; understanding some market trends will help ensure dealers and manufacturers can be at the forefront of helping those shoppers.

The automotive industry is constantly changing. Shifting consumer demands and preferences, as well as dynamic economic factors, make the need for data-driven insights more important than ever. As we head into the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) Show this week, we wanted to explore some of the trends in the used vehicle market in our Special Report: State of the Automotive Finance Market Report. Packed with valuable insights and the latest trends, we’ll take a deep dive into the multi-faceted used vehicle market and better understand how consumers are financing used vehicles. 9+ model years grow Although late-model vehicles tend to represent much of the used vehicle finance market, we were surprised by the gradual growth of 9+ model year (MY) vehicles. In 2019, 9+MY vehicles accounted for 26.6% of the used vehicle sales. Since then, we’ve seen year-over-year growth, culminating with 9+MY vehicles making up a little more than 30% of used vehicle sales in 2024. Perhaps more interesting though, is who is financing these vehicles. Five years ago, prime and super prime borrowers represented 42.5% of 9+MY vehicles, however, in 2024, those consumers accounted for nearly 54% of 9+MY originations. Among the more popular 9+MY segments, CUVs and SUVs comprised 36.9% of sales in 2024, up from 35.2% in 2023, while cars went from 44.3% to 42.9% year-over-year and pickup trucks decreased from 15.9% to 15.6%. 2024 highlights by used vehicle age group To get a better sense of the overall used market, the segments were broken down into three age groups—9+MY, 4-8MY, and current +3MY—and to no surprise, the finance attributes vary widely. While we’ve seen the return of new vehicle inventory drive used vehicle values lower, it could be a sign that consumers are continuing to seek out affordable options that fit their lifestyle. In fact, the average loan amount for a 9+MY vehicle was $19,376 in 2024, compared to $24,198 for a vehicle between 4-8 years old and $32,381 for +3MY vehicle. Plus, more than 55% of 9+MY vehicles have monthly payments under $400. That’s not an insignificant number for people shopping with the monthly payment in mind. In 2024, the average monthly payment for a used vehicle that falls under current+3MY was $608. Meanwhile, 4-8MY vehicles came in at an average monthly payment of $498, and 9+MY vehicles had a $431 monthly payment. Taking a deeper dive into average loan amounts based on specific vehicle types—as of 2024, current +3MY cars came in at $28,721, followed by CUVs/SUVs ($31,589) and pickup trucks ($40,618). As for 4-8MY vehicles, cars came in with a loan amount of $22,013, CUVs/SUVs were at $23,133, and pickup trucks at $31,114. Used 9+MY cars had a loan amount of $19,506, CUVs/SUVs came in at $17,350, and pickup trucks at $22,369. With interest rates remaining top of mind for most consumers as we’ve seen them increase in recent years, understanding the growth from 2019-2024 can give a holistic picture of how the market has shifted over time. For instance, the average interest rate for a used current+3MY vehicle was 8.0% in 2019 and grew to 10.2% in 2024, the average rate for a 4-8MY vehicle went from 10.3% to 12.9%, and the average rate for a 9+MY vehicle increased from 11.4% to 13.8% in the same time frame. Looking ahead to the used vehicle market It’s important for automotive professionals to understand and leverage the data of the used market as it can provide valuable insights into trending consumer behavior and pricing patterns. While we don’t exactly know where the market will stand in a few years—adapting strategies based on historical data and anticipating shifts can help professionals better prepare for both challenges and opportunities in the future. As used vehicles remain a staple piece of the automotive industry, making informed decisions and optimizing inventory management will ensure agility as the market continues to shift.
