Retail Decisions, the international supplier of payment card, ebusiness and fraud prevention services, and ENIAC, a leading information technology solutions distributor, integrator and developer with operations in Latin America and the Caribbean, announced a sales and distribution agreement for Retail Decisions’ PRISM risk management products. Under the terms of the revenue-sharing agreement, ENIAC will sell, install and support the full suite of PRISM card fraud and merchant fraud detection solutions to its financial services clients in Venezuela, Colombia and Puerto Rico.
Retail Decisions and ENIAC will detail the alliance at ENIAC’s first annual Risk Management Symposium, being held on October 9th in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
“Retail Decisions’ fraud detection products are recognized the world over, having helped many high-profile credit and debit card issuers to significantly reduce their fraud losses,” said Roger Bonet, President of ENIAC, C.A. “By leveraging these premier industry solutions to financial services companies in our targeted regions, ENIAC can now assist our clients in combating fraud more effectively, while extending the services we provide to encompass enterprise-wide risk management solutions.”
“Fraud is a global problem,” said Carl Clump, CEO of Retail Decisions. “Our specialist approach to card fraud management, coupled with ENIAC’s excellent reputation, local knowledge and relationships offers an unmatched level of fraud prevention to leading financial institutions in Latin America and the Caribbean. We are pleased to have been selected by ENIAC as their preferred risk management partner and that they can assist with our objectives of enabling our services to be more widely available internationally.”
PRISM uses self-learning neural network fraud detection models and bank-specific rules-based technology to help card issuers and retailers detect fraudulent transactions in real-time. The system compares each transaction with historical account patterns and confirmed fraud activity. When the transaction is deemed to be suspicious by the neural network, or if the transaction matches one of the bank’s pre-defined fraud detection criteria, it is routed to a fraud analyst for review.
