Quova, Inc.

Callcredit and Quova Partner to Protect UK Retailers and Banks from eCommerce Fraud

London (ots/PRNewswire)

- Quova's GeoPoint Geolocation Service Added to Callcredit's
Anti-Fraud ID Verification Solution
Quova, Inc., the world's leading provider and developer of web
geography services and technologies, and Callcredit, the innovative
web-based UK consumer credit referencing agency, today announced a
partnership to add Quova's GeoPoint geolocation service to
Callcredit's identity verification solution, CallID. The partnership
will allow Callcredit's clients, including online retailers and
banks, a critical extra level of authentication by verifying the
real-world location of online customers.
Quova's GeoPoint software will be deployed on Callcredit's web
services and provide real-time geolocation information for web-based
business applications. By comparing potential customers' provided
postal address or registration address with the physical location
generated by GeoPoint, online retailers and banks can flag
potentially fraudulent transactions in time to assess or block them
before completion, whilst accurately authorising legitimate
customers. As part of Callcredit's identity verification and
anti-fraud suite, Quova's IP lookup data allows Callcredit to offer
customers safer online order and banking processes. Callcredit is the
first European credit reference agency to provide this valuable
credit fraud prevention tool to the market.
Graham Lund, Product Director, Callcredit, commented, "Quova's
GeoPoint dataset is key to enabling retailers, lenders and supply
chain partners to better understand their customers and to take a
risk based approach to tackling fraud. Callcredit has always been
committed to seeking out and bringing innovative new datasets to its
customers. This partnership with Quova will enable us to offer a
powerful and unique service to the UK market which will help guard
against the huge losses faced by the industry each year as a result
of fraud."
Quova's GeoPoint service has proven to be an accurate and
effective first-line defense in determining the validity of online
transactions and applications by identifying patterns of suspicious
behavior in website visitors.
Steve Sawyer, Business Development Manager, Quova, commented, "It
is essential that retailers are equipped to respond to one of the
world's fastest growing businesses, online fraud. Quova's partnership
not only demonstrates Callcredit's commitment to improving and
strengthening its services for customers but also highlights the
growing prominence and effectiveness of geolocation as a tool for
combating online fraud."
