Validating Checking Accounts Gives the Good Guys a Chance
PYMNTS
Late last year, PYMNTS Intelligence reported that 28% of payments executives were seeing an increase in fraud and risk management uncertainties, and a commensurate percentage saw losses exceeding half a million dollars in the preceding 12 months.
It’s no surprise to Eric Stratman, senior director of analytics and insights at ValidiFI, who told PYMNTS in an interview that many firms grapple with outdated risk assessment processes.
