We are using the product for 3D Secure authentication and fraud prevention
For CA Risk Analytics, we would like to have some statistics available, to do some counting on the number of transactions for example. Also, to have the ability not only for 3D Secure, but accross all online channels. Online banking and App. Because then you would have three online channels. You would have the same device data, so you can combine it. So then you would have an online banking platform, an app, and 3D Secure all from one supplier. This supplier would support all of our authentication methods across those three channels. That's our ultimate goal to have one supplier to support all three online channels.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The service works as described, the Admin console is very good along with customer service, and the management support, which is excellent."
"I think for us, the value that we get out of CA is their effective scheme diagnostics."
"We see a high value in that, with all the fraud rules that we built, we have a very good false positive ratio because of the big data that CA has."
"Let's put it this way, it's like going from Larder to a Ferrari."
"For a bank, we've seen transactions move to e-commerce. We needed a solution that would protect the bank and protect the bank's cardholders, and that's what this solution gives us."
"I advise anyone that is looking for a payment security product to choose this solution."
"The CA solution is a world-class product and others should consider using this solution."
"I think stability-wise, we've not really had any issues in terms of stability."
"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."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, there is a bit of language issue of understanding problems."
"This is the one area where there's room for improvement. I think that is the one area where improvements can be made in terms of speed of response, in terms of quality of response, and in terms of more so a proactive problem monitoring."
"No solution is going to be 100% up, but in terms of what we've seen, we've been quite happy."
"I think improvements for us, it's making it simple enough that anybody can understand how it works."
"There have been service outages/incidents and work has to be chased, for completion or comment."
"We are still unable to implement OTP through email using this solution."
"At the moment, getting into that rich data is quite an effort."
"That's the one complaint we have had is the lack of mobile signal."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Utilize the transaction pricing model versus the active cards because the ability to monitor active cards hasn’t been good."
"I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
