Global online gaming company utilizes ACI's UP Retailer Payments
solution to gain comprehensive view of customer and fraud trends
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
ACI
Worldwide (NASDAQ: ACIW), a leading global provider of real-time electronic
payment and banking solutions, today announced that
Wargaming, an award-winning online game developer and publisher of
titles such as ‘World of Tanks,' ‘World of Warships' and ‘World of
Warplanes,' has successfully rolled out ACI ReD Shield®, its flagship eCommerce
fraud prevention solution, across Europe. The company now plans to
deploy the solution globally.
Wargaming, one of the leaders in the Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO)
market, delivers a range of gaming experiences across PC, console and
mobile platforms to millions of gamers around the world. While Wargaming
has initially deployed ACI ReD Shield throughout Europe, the solution's
unique advantages and proven results will drive a global
rollout—leveraging the many benefits it delivers as a single,
consolidated, global fraud management solution.
ACI ReD Shield is a real-time fraud
management solution designed to enable merchants to protect
revenues, maximize growth opportunities and enhance customer experience.
The solution is underpinned by ACI's team of global risk analysts and
provides merchants with insight into their customers, both at the point
of payment and retrospectively through powerful intelligence and
analytics.
"We saw a dual benefit in building a direct relationship with ACI," said
Matthieu Chapelle, deputy head of Global Payments, Wargaming. "Its fraud
solution can help us accurately detect trends and prevent card fraud on
a global level, irrespective of payment processor and geography. This is
vital to help increase acceptance rates for genuine customers, support
player loyalty and protect our reputation."
"Merchants that operate cross border have a huge challenge when it comes
to preventing fraud, especially in distinguishing fraudsters from
genuine customers since behaviours from each can often appear similar,"
said Mike Braatz, chief product officer, ACI Worldwide. "In MMO gaming,
genuine users frequently play with friends from other countries, which
could be mistaken for the behavior of cross-border fraudsters. MMO
gaming is also a highly competitive, high-growth market where customer
experience is paramount and operators must keep up with fast and
frequent changes in both technology and consumer preferences. Our
sophisticated tools—guided by our risk analysts—use real-time and
historic customer and fraud transaction data to build an accurate,
up-to-the-minute view of behaviour and trends. This intelligence is
invaluable in supporting customer service excellence while keeping risk
exposure low."
ACI Red Shield is part of the ACI UP Merchant
Payments solution, which provides a holistic security and fraud
solution designed to address PCI compliance requirements. UP Merchant

consumer payments from all channels—whether the merchant is processing

solution is a key component of ACI's UP portfolio of solutions, which
