The addition of ThreatMetrix’s advanced fraud tools and network to Verifi’s full service risk and fraud payment management system, analytics and reporting provides Verifi customers with the strongest defense against hackers, cybercriminals and large-scale global fraud enterprises without disrupting the consumer checkout experience. And with Verifi’s single source platform, customers gain immediate access to all of Verifi’s partner fraud and risk management solutions without the need for any additional integration.
