ACI Worldwide Launches Online Banking Fraud Management Solution
(New York, N.Y. – November 7, 2011) –ACI Worldwide (Nasdaq: ACIW), a leading international provider of payments systems, today announced that ACI Online Banking Fraud Management Solution is now available pre-configured for ACI Enterprise Banker™ . The solution enables financial institutions to better protect their corporate customers from fraudulent transactions and attacks, by using ACI Proactive Risk Manager™ to quickly and accurately identify suspicious activity.
ACI Online Banking Fraud Management Solution will help financial institutions respond to the recent rulings in the U.S. around changing liability for fraud perpetrated through online business banking accounts, and the FFIEC Guidance outlined for layered security and authentication.
ACI Online Banking Fraud Management Solution, which is pre-configured for ACI customers using Enterprise Banker in house or in an ACI On Demand environment, considers activity on an end-user account – monetary and non-monetary – to establish a picture of standard activity for that customer, and highlight anything that is out of the ordinary. This includes log-in information, typical payee amounts and frequencies, device identification, use of two-factor authentication, as well as a host of other variables. Unusual activity can be flagged for automatic blocking or further checking as required, to deliver the balance of comprehensive fraud prevention and customer convenience.
“As recent Aite Group research details, the online channel is the place where financial institutions are feeling the most pain today. Behavior analytics are among financial institutions’ most effective tools in the fight against online fraud, and a critical component of a layered security strategy,” said Julie McNelley, senior analyst, Fraud and Risk, Aite Group.
Louis Blatt, chief product officer at ACI Worldwide said, “Financial crime prevention is always a top priority for financial institutions, and they are constantly looking for the best way to protect themselves and their customers from fraudsters. We believe this combined solution provides just that. The built-in interoperability of our payment and financial crime management solutions ensures financial institutions can respond to threats as they emerge. We have seen strong interest in this offering and already have customers in process of rolling it out.”
