Consultant Fraud Risk Management at a financial services firm with 501-1,000 employees
We are using the product for 3D Secure authentication and fraud prevention
For CA Risk Analytics, we would like to have some statistics available, to do some counting on the number of transactions for example. Also, to have the ability not only for 3D Secure, but accross all online channels. Online banking and App. Because then you would have three online channels. You would have the same device data, so you can combine it. So then you would have an online banking platform, an app, and 3D Secure all from one supplier. This supplier would support all of our authentication methods across those three channels. That's our ultimate goal to have one supplier to support all three online channels.

Real-time capability, consortium data model but offline analysis of transactions is not flexible
FICO users are business users, not developers. When setting up rules or parameters, some coding is required, and the learning curve is quite steep. This is a disadvantage of FICO. Additionally, the offline analysis of transactions is not flexible. Transactions need to be flagged as fraud to show up in the analysis, making it difficult to identify false negatives. The Identity Resolution Engine (IRE), an extension to FICO Falcon Platform, is helpful. However, integration with FICO Falcon Fraud Manager can be challenging due to its rigid template and data format requirements. This can cause delays in development and integration, potentially postponing projects by a month or two. AI is another thing they could improve is how they create the data model for my bank's detection data. From what I understand, they already have the capability to do that. But the data being processed in my bank, the ones they can process, is not really much. Maybe it's just a mistake on my part. But in terms of AI other than machine learning that they've already implemented, I have not seen any significant use case.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I think the performance from my organization's perspective is excellent in terms of minimizing the friction on genuine transactions with genuine customers, whilst optimizing the bad transactions, the fraudulent transactions that it stops."
"This is a good product, which is easy to deploy and has lot of user friendly features."
"It's the security and protection it offers our customers."
"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."
"They are excellent."
"For us, it enables the bank or the issuer to offer their customers protection on their online transactions."
"So it's pretty useful operation wise, and also in terms of some inquiries from us, if a customer is disputing they didn't receive an OTP password on their online transaction, and then they're disputing that it's not theirs, and it's unauthorized, but it was a successful transaction, I use this product to see the customer's previous IP addresses."
"Let's put it this way, it's like going from Larder to a Ferrari."
"FICO is working on a local model specifically for Brazil, whereas tools from Oracle and other vendors are only developed for general use. I haven't seen any other vendors who think like that until now."
"It can make real-time decisions or real-time declines."
 

Cons

"The deployment process needs to be updated to ensure the base code does not involve details of other clients."
"Their response time was amazing, but it took a lot of time and the responses that we got were not really satisfactory, so it took a lot of time and alterations to get something fixed, which should have been fixed much earlier."
"At the moment, getting into that rich data is quite an effort."
"The service is improving with the implementation of 3D Secure 2.0."
"That's the one complaint we have had is the lack of mobile signal."
"Sometimes, there is a bit of language issue of understanding problems."
"No solution is going to be 100% up, but in terms of what we've seen, we've been quite happy."
"In the first two years, there were several issues with stability."
"When setting up rules or parameters, some coding is required, and the learning curve is quite steep."
"I've had bad experiences with FICO support. At the bank, we've faced critical problems where we only had minutes to find the solution, and it's hard to explain quickly. We contacted FICO, but they told us it was beyond their scope of support. They try to triage the call by asking us how much money we're losing, but I can't go into that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Utilize the transaction pricing model versus the active cards because the ability to monitor active cards hasn’t been good."
"The functionality is fine, but the price is getting more expensive."
"FICO is one of the best fraud detection platforms. However, a small bank might find it too expensive. In that case, I would agree it's probably not worth it. However, it's a no-brainer if your bank has 50 million accounts and 7 million credit card transactions daily."
