Online fraud is not going away; hackers are becoming more sophisticated. While technology offer more avenues for consumers to pay, they also offer new ways for hackers to steal data.
There are several factors that increases the growth of online fraud:
EMV migration: because of EMV migration,fraud in face to face transactions becomes more difficult and moves to card-not-present transaction. This has been observed after EMV is implemented in other country.
Banking activity: it is moving online not only via online-only banks, but also mobile and online bank services.
An increase of online marketplaces: financial services pros are more proficient in identifying fraud compare to individual consumers who become sellers that can be victims of online fraud.
How can e-commerce and financial services companies reduce online fraud?
Merchants:Ensure that you have payment security. Fraudsters use sophisticated technologies, ask your payment provider for encryption and tokenization. You can also use BIN LookUp as an added security and number of benefits. Bin LookUp allows merchant or institution to check more about the transaction.
Online marketplaces: Marketplaces can protect their reputation by validating new sellers using sophisticated device and applying advanced models and machine learning to detect unusual patterns of activity that indicate misuse.
Banks: Fraudsters continue to innovate. Bank technology needs to be flexible and stay one step ahead.

Terminal or credit card machines are used for processing debit and credit card transactions. Therefore, are often integrated into a Point of Sale System.
Electronic Authorizations – merchants had the choice of calling in for an authorization or imprinting their transactions, but many businesses opted voice authorization only on larger transactions because of the long waiting time for authorizing transaction over the phone.
Manual Imprinters – are considered a great backup processing method. Although time consuming and did not offer the speed or instant transfer capabilities, this imprinters are still widely used.
Point of Sale Terminals: POS emerged in 1979, which was a turning point in the credit card processing industry. As a result,
Visa introduced a bulky electronic data capturing terminal. The first of credit card machine or terminal as we know them today. It has greatly reduced the time required to process a credit card.
In the same year, MasterCharge became MasterCard and credit cards were replaced to include a magnetic information stripe which now has become EMV/chip and PIN.
The Future: There’s a lot of room for advancement when it comes to Credit card processing technology. Increasing processing speed, reliability and security are driving forces behind processing technology advancement.
Today’s credit card terminals are faster and more reliable with convenient new capabilities including contactless and Mobile NFC acceptance. The processing industry will definitely be adapting new technologies in the near future and has a lot to look forward to.

Up-to-Date Tech – futuristic features, like mobile payment abilities, EMV/NFC, contactless payments are worth investing. Modern consumers are generally more familiar with up-to-date payment systems. Seeing a payment service provider offer a swipe-only terminal should be a red flag, because the recent regulations require merchants to have EMV to provide better data security.
Chargeback bumps still not clear, yet some says consumers are taking advantage of the chargeback system, while others think this increase is due to EMV implementation. Same as other countries experienced.
Whatever the reason, these chargebacks are causing stir in the payments industry.
Merchants should know two facts because of the tide in chargebacks:
Merchants should not be accountable for chargebacks on valid, non-fraudulent cards without chips.
Additionally, merchants who do not have EMV terminals are at a higher risk for fraud.
The merchant is held responsible not the bank if fraud is involved as a result of card swipe.
There are a few things that merchants can do to prevent chargebacks.
Always swipe non-chip cards rather doing it manually.
Ask for a signature and verify each transaction.
Be on the lookout for fraudulent cards.
EMV chip card should not be swipe or manually keyed in.
Follow chip card processing procedures, insert them correctly and guide your customers through the chip transaction process.
If the chip card payment fails, ask for an alternate form of payment. Most of all do not override or swipe the chip card.
If you have to manually enter a card number, use the security code, check the expiration date and further more take an imprint.
Better be equipped to stop chargebacks by adopting few changes in your business before they happen. If your business is not yet EMV compliant, give us a call at 888-996-2273 or visit us at www.nationaltransction.com
