Rapid Safeguard to Enable Verified Digital Payouts for Prominent Online Gaming Company
One of the world’s largest gaming companies was experiencing a nearly 40% failure rate in its gaming tournament payouts. This was attributed to a lack of success in verifying identities of payees (winners and promoters) and payee account information. In addition, payments were failing due to the complexity of business rules for each combination of bank, bank account, and payment rail combination.
By utilizing a verified digital payments platform and managed service solution, this gaming company was able to increase payout success from 60% to 95%.
Protecting a Local Government & School District’s Payment System from Fraudulent Activities
A municipal government was contacted to change the account profile for their local affiliated school district, which included a change in the school district’s bank account. Unfortunately, it was not the school district that had made the contact, but instead a fraudulent foreign actor. Although a series of controls and procedures had been loosely followed, millions of dollars had been transferred to an overseas bank account that was supposed to go to the school district.
To avoid this situation from occurring, organizations are adopting a means of verifying the individual’s identity, which is matched to their organization’s identity, and the organization’s identity is matched to the corresponding bank account. By using advanced data, analytics, and controls, clients are avoiding being “spearfished” and the resulting embezzlement.
