Online transactions face a higher chance of being declined because face-to-face transactions come with a higher degree of confidence. Businesses who fail to address this problem run the risk of losing the customer permanently, damaging their reputation and bottom line. What can e-commerce marketplace merchants do to increase the approval rate of online payments without making fraud worse? Here are three tips: 1. Broaden access to data beyond what’s in the authorization stream. Merchants use a variety of solutions to prevent fraud and verify identities, but typically use very limited data to approve a transaction through the authorization stream between a merchant and issuer. The issuing bank often only compares the purchase data to the address listed on the card owner’s account, which can create discrepancies when a customer is trying to send an order to an alternate address from their primary home. That’s why it’s important for merchants to augment their decisioning with additional data sources to help inform the true customer risk profile. 2. Leverage capabilities that can assess risk for both the transaction and the individual behind it. Today, merchants leverage limited data including email address data, device information and other technologies in silos to augment their address verification capabilities. The challenge with these tools is that each judge the risk of a specific component of the transaction or the individual. Where integration is lacking, false positives are amplified. 3. Collaborate and share expertise and data across merchants and issuers. How can Experian help? Leveraging our multidimensional data, technical expertise and advanced analytics capabilities, we can help businesses frictionlessly authenticate valid customers, thus increasing revenue by increased approval rates, without increasing fraud or operating expenses.

Experian recently announced Experian Identity and published an advertorial in American Banker outlining the integrated approach to identity that recognizes the full breadth of the company’s authoritative data solutions that help businesses better connect with their consumers in more personalized, meaningful and secure ways. The efforts address the rapidly changing definition and landscape of identity and take on the importance and needs for identity which span across the entire customer journey. From marketing to a specific consumer’s needs, to facilitating a friction-right customer experience, to protecting personal information. As such, there’s a gap for single-partner providers to help businesses navigate this change, while also putting the needs of the consumer first. “Identity data sets are constantly growing with inputs from new interactions. Many future sources of data have yet to be even conceived or developed,” said Kathleen Peters, Chief Innovation Officer, Experian Decision Analytics. “Staying ahead of the identity market curve is vital, and it requires building and continually evolving an enterprise-scale identity solution that interconnects with your own unique data and systems to create attribute-rich profiles of your customers that work across any identity application. That’s Experian Identity.” Experian Identity underscores the need businesses have to respond to increasing identity needs with interconnected, scalable technology, products and services that optimize the consumer experience. While the integrated approach announcement is new, the capability is not. Experian has been trusted for decades to secure individuals’ identity around the most important decisions in their lives – think purchasing a car or home, being identified at the doctor’s office, and more. As such, consumers remain at the center of every action. Experian Identity offers identity resolution, verification, authentication and protection, and fraud management solutions that include first- and third-party fraud, account takeover, credit card verification, identity resolution and restoration, risk-based authentication, synthetic identity protection and more. Additionally, we’ve included a special blog post introducing Experian’s identity capabilities from Kathleen Peters on the Experian Global News Blog and additional coverage.
