FICO is also applying its Falcon Fraud Manager
to Germany’s neighbouring markets Austria and Switzerland, where it
aims to crack down on credit card fraud by protecting 1.2m and 2m
credit cards respectively.
FICO’s senior director for DACH and Central and Eastern Europe,
Phillip Sertel, said:
“Within the last two years, the number of credit cards in
Germany has significantly increased, and the growing adoption of
credit cards as a preferred payment vehicle has attracted
fraudsters.
“Banks are now facing the challenge of cutting down fraud
without jeopardising the trust in card payment. The [FICO Falcon
Fraud Manager] enables card issuers to identify previously
undetected fraud patterns and at the same time keep an eye on the
customer relationship.”
