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.

Helps determine whether a transaction is correct or fraudulent
It's a very fast solution. It can make decisions in 10, 20 or 30 milliseconds. Another feature is that it's a white-box solution. Our clients can see the system's operation, including the rules influencing each decision. Additionally, it's an omnichannel solution capable of utilizing information from various digital channels such as card processing, mobile banking, web banking, APMs, and others. This allows for transaction analysis. Moreover, it's a highly adaptable solution that can integrate machine learning, both external and internal models, making it easy to implement. Compared to competitors, it's one of the easiest solutions to implement. The tool allows historical data to be leveraged within the system to train models without needing external systems. Secondly, it supports external modeling systems, enabling customers to create and train models outside the product and then integrate them into the system. This is useful for customers who utilize other machine learning and artificial intelligence systems alongside IBM Safer Payments.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I think for us, the value that we get out of CA is their effective scheme diagnostics."
"I use this product to extract cases from there and then send it to Ops to review and analyze."
"For us, it enables the bank or the issuer to offer their customers protection on their online transactions."
"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."
"The service works as described, the Admin console is very good along with customer service, and"
"This feature has influenced my decision-making processes because IBM is a big player in this market, and we were looking for someone who could handle the number of transactions that we have, support us, and also had a local presence in the market."
"It's a very fast solution. It can make decisions in 10, 20 or 30 milliseconds. Another feature is that it's a white-box solution.

Cons

"This solution can improve around the challenge rates and the failures."
"Probably having more flexibility and working on usability and how we use the solution."
"I think improvements for us, it's making it simple enough that anybody can understand how it works."
"The service is improving with the implementation of 3D Secure 2.0."
"I had wish it would be this one, this authentication for fingerprint and face would be promising."
"My experience with the initial setup of IBM Safer Payments was complex. It was complex because without pre-built-in templates, you need to build integration with different systems."
"The tool should enhance its reporting interface by adding more graphical elements like charts, diagrams, etc. Customers now want more vibrant visuals—bright charts with larger tables, perhaps incorporating animations and 3D elements. Sometimes, it's challenging to explain to customers why the current solution, while good, lacks these kinds of visuals."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Utilize the transaction pricing model versus the active cards because the ability to monitor active cards hasn’t been good."
"I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
