Kount Inc, a leading provider of fraud prevention technology, today announced a strategic partnership with Magento, developer of the world’s fastest-growing eCommerce platform. Supporting more than 100,000 merchants and brands, the Magento Go hosted platform has added Kount’s enterprise-class fraud platform, Kount Complete®. The integration, in time for the holiday season, allows Magento customers the ability to activate and deploy Kount’s easy to use fraud protection through the Magento Go payment bridge.
Kount’s integration into the Magento Go payment bridge is the first Kount integration with Magento to date. Kount expects to expand its support of the Magento platform including Magento Professional, Magento Enterprise and Magento Community early in 2012.
Kount provides Magento Go customers with an easy-to-use fraud detection system that scales to the specific needs of the individual merchant. Kount’s integration maximizes sales, reduces operational costs and losses incurred due to fraud, including:
- Lost revenue through rejection of good orders that look suspicious
- Chargebacks and fines
- Costly and time-consuming manual order review
- Affiliate fraud
For each transaction, Kount’s “decisioning” engine goes beyond industry standard blacklists and simple fraud rules by analyzing hundreds of relevant variables and activity across the globe in real-time. Kount applies a multitude of proven and proprietary technologies based on the specific needs of each customer, including Multi-layered Device Fingerprinting®, Proxy Piercer® geolocation tools, statistical scoring, rules-based fraud detection, cross-merchant linking, and Persona™ behavioral modeling. The result is a highly predictive fraud assessment delivered in an average of just 350 milliseconds.
“Magento supports websites and brands of all sizes and, as a result, required that Kount be easy to activate and use for their customers,” said Steve Rouse, COO Kount. “Magento chose Kount’s scalable solution in order to provide state of the art fraud protection for its customers in time for the upcoming online holiday rush.”
