How ClickBank uses Kount to Curb Chargebacks and Grow Revenue
Declines
Stopped declining legitimate customers
Chargebacks
Got chargebacks under control
Transaction volume
Grew transaction volume with less risk
ClickBank is a global ecommerce platform that provides payment services for more than 6 million clients. ClickBank specializes in digital product purchases — such as ebooks, software, and memberships.
THE PROBLEM
High transaction volume. Ineffective risk protection in place.
Because ClickBank handles over 30,000 online transactions a day, fraud risks are high. Before coming to Kount, ClickBank faced two primary challenges:
1. Not being able to recover goods from fraudulent orders
Unlike physical goods, once a ClickBank transaction is approved and the digital merchandise (ebook, software, etc.) has been downloaded, there’s no way to recover the merchandise if the transaction turns out to be fraudulent. So ClickBank was losing the merchandise and revenue from fraudulent sales.
2. Declining legitimate customers to avoid risk
ClickBank wanted the flexibility to fine tune their risk thresholds. It was critical for them to balance chargebacks — and the associated costs and risks — with the need to maximize revenue by filtering out the good customers from the bad. But they had no way to set those thresholds without declining legitimate customers.
THE THE SOLUTION
Automation and customization means better efficiency.
With Kount, ClickBank is able to create custom policies and automate processes to make their fraud prevention workflow more efficient and less time-consuming. Plus, using Kount’s real-time data, ClickBank can always stay one step ahead of emerging threats.
Kount was really easy to set up. And it’s pretty easy to use day-to-day. Other solutions make real-time recommendations, but based on data that’s a day old. Kount accesses that data in real time to keep us ahead of the bad guys.
