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 use this product to extract cases from there and then send it to Ops to review and analyze."
"The service works as described, the Admin console is very good along with customer service, and"
"I think for us, the value that we get out of CA is their effective scheme diagnostics."
"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."
"For us, it enables the bank or the issuer to offer their customers protection on their online transactions."
"It can make real-time decisions or real-time declines."
"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."
 

Cons

"I think improvements for us, it's making it simple enough that anybody can understand how it works."
"I had wish it would be this one, this authentication for fingerprint and face would be promising."
"Probably having more flexibility and working on usability and how we use the solution."
"The service is improving with the implementation of 3D Secure 2.0."
"This solution can improve around the challenge rates and the failures."
"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."
