Real-time fraud prevention empowers effective decision-making
The features of IBM Safer Payments that I found most valuable are the "what if" scenarios. I find "what if" scenarios very valuable for my use cases because it's easier to simulate the rules that one would want to set up and see what the outcome would be beforehand; it doesn't take too much rework or effort. I have used the transaction scoring feature of IBM Safer Payments. IBM Safer Payments adaptive machine learning models are still under review for improving the accuracy of fraud detection over time; it's not yet been fully realized because the more data you have, the better it is. Currently, the data is being populated, and it's too early to make definitive conclusions. The ability to process large volumes of transactions in real-time for my organization is very important; that will become even more important once we are doing real-time monitoring and scoring. I have benefited from the comprehensive reporting and visualization tools offered by IBM Safer Payments; they are lovely. These tools have assisted in optimizing my fraud prevention strategies because we are still building on a few things, but once you have a 360 view of the customer's transactional history, it's easier to build in rules for flagging anything that comes out of the ordinary, whether it's in terms of the number of transactions, the volume of the transactions, the location of the transactions, or all of them together. It brings in a lot of visibility into the transactional history and patterns for each customer.

Unified fraud and AML protection has reduced losses while configuration still needs to be simpler
SEON Fraud Prevention is not almost 100% accurate, but some areas where it can be improved are on the learning curve. It is a tech-savvy platform and requires the users to be also tech-savvy. When paired or left in the hands of people who do not understand the emerging issues in fraud detection and AI or machine learning, they are not able to run the platform well. This may expose the company to any form of fraud and lead to big losses. Furthermore, this is a platform that suits mid-sized and large enterprises who handle more customers and who have more frequency of fraud occurring. This phenomenon locks out small business users as they do not have that high risk or do not have that high frequency of being targeted by scammers or fraudsters. Those are some of the areas where it can be improved. The initial configuration is an area for improvement. To make it secure and customizable, you have to configure it to suit your organization. Whether you are in the fintech industry, in insurance, or in a money handling business, you have that configuration period and it takes quite some time. This slows down the rate of usage of the platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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. 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."
"With SEON Fraud Prevention in place, we have saved money that could have been targeted by scammers by around 50%, which has also grown our profitability by around 30% and proves we have seen a return on our investment."
"SEON Fraud Prevention is one of the platforms I have worked with that has everything in one place, and for fraud analysis work, this is everything."
"SEON Fraud Prevention made it really easy for us to programmatize and automate a lot of what we were previously doing on our own."
"SEON Fraud Prevention has positively impacted my organization by helping control the fraud rate in a meaningful way that safeguards brand reputation and member accounts."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"SEON Fraud Prevention is not almost 100% accurate, but some areas where it can be improved are on the learning curve."
"In terms of what I disliked about SEON Fraud Prevention, I will say that it did have a learning curve."
"I believe SEON Fraud Prevention can be improved by ensuring that the database at the back is accurate for all regions, as it is currently focused on major countries like the United States and needs a bit more improvement on Canadian data."
"Regarding the scalability aspect in SEON Fraud Prevention, there are some limitations. One limitation was that I could not see the transactions, so if considering this aspect, there are limitations in that regard."
