Overview
With the U.S. well on its way to adopting the EMV chip card standard, fraud at the point of sale will not disappear. Lost/stolen fraud, mail interception, and account takeover are just a few ways fraudsters can gain access to physical cards. But with consumer expectations around financial services in general and transactions in particular being increasingly defined by their mobile experiences, issuers and merchants cannot afford to add friction during transactions. Meeting these challenges requires a multidimensional approach to cardholder verification relying on rich customer intelligence, friction-free risk evaluation, and on-device authentication.
Key questions addressed in this report:
- What are the primary fraud threats to cards at the point of sale in a post-EMV U.S.?
- What requirements must new point-of-sale authentication tools meet?
- How can issuers boost security at the point of sale without imposing onerous authentication requirements on their customers?
- How can issuers create a unified security experience across all transaction channels: point of sale, online, and mobile?
- What unique opportunities do mobile devices offer in boosting transaction security?
Companies Mentioned: Apple, Capital One, EyeLock, EyeVerify, Fujitsu, Google, Home Depot, MasterCard, Microsoft, Ondot, Samsung, SmartMetric, Target, Visa, Wells Fargo, Zwipe
