Transcript of Peter Cohen about MasterCard and Visa Europe merchant fraud programs
Online fraud is still a big problem and as long as the number of online shoppers continues to grow, so will the
number of fraud cases. According to the European Central Bank there were 7.9 million cases of fraud with a value
of 1.16 billion euros in 2011 of which 56% took place in e-commerce.
European Merchant Services organizes the EMS RISK EVENT annually for retailers who are active in e-commerce
and multichannel. It is an excellent opportunity to increase your knowledge in the field of online fraud, risk
management and advanced fraud prevention and detection tools. We help you to stay ahead of online fraudsters
and to protect your online business by sharing the knowledge and experience of our fraud and risk experts, our
customers and our partners.

Relation with chargebacks and Chargeback Programs
Chargebacks and Chargeback Programs are unrelated to the Merchant
Fraud Programs!
‘3D Secure’, MasterCard SecureCode and Verified by Visa, are no silver
bullet.
Fully Authenticated fraud is out there…
(phishing is on the rise)
Merchant Fraud Programs
What EMS can do for you!
We inform you timely about Fraud Program related messages.
We can provide you with an overview of your authorisations and
transactions.
We can provide you with frequent EMS Fraud Reports.
We can advise on data analysis.
Merchant Fraud Programs
What EMS can do for you!
We can provide fraud prevention best practices:
- Compare country where card was issued against delivery address.
- Evaluate authorisation data.
- Evaluate multiple use of the same card (on the same day)
Merchant Fraud Programs
What EMS can do for you!
You can prevent or limit fraud from occurring by using all available
information and taking a step back from your business to be able to
clearly spot any unwanted authorisation and transactional patterns!
Why should I prevent fraud if my fraud performance is under the
Scheme Program criteria?
