Mastercard Now Offering Kount Payment Fraud Prevention and Chargeback Mitigation to Payment Providers and Merchants
Equifax and Mastercard have joined forces to empower Latin American financial institutions, payment service providers, acquiring banks, and merchants to overcome payment fraud challenges without disruption to the customer experience.
Enhanced fraud management tools, including Mastercard Identity, Ethoca Alerts and Ethoca Consumer Clarity are now available to Mastercard business customers in Latin America through the Kount Payment Fraud solution from Equifax. The combined solutions protect the entire digital payments environment through identity verification and fraud risk assessment while preventing chargebacks through order validation and alerting services.
Latin America has one of the highest fraud rates globally, with studies showing that merchants are losing upward of 4.6% of their e-commerce revenue to payment fraud. With e-commerce revenue expected to nearly double in the region from $85 billion in 2021 to $160 billion by next year, Equifax and Mastercard are helping empower businesses to achieve their full growth potential by stopping threats in real time.
