MIT services 17,000 merchants with more than 80,000 points of sale throughout Mexico.
Juan Carlos Viramontes, MIT CEO,commented: “The growth in fraud, as well as the sophisticated forms that attacks take, forces payments ecosystem participants to seek innovative and disruptive solutions to reduce fraud and make manual processes more efficient, without sacrificing customer experience.
“MIT strives to offer its clients cutting-edge technology. Recognizing that fraud prevention and its techniques are constantly evolving, MIT has selected Featurespace as its business partner so that the ARIC platform’s adaptive behavioural analytics can reduce fraud and increase customer approval.”
Martina King, Featurespace CEO, commented: “Card fraud is a growing issue across the world and poses a serious threat to merchants, which is why we are delighted to be working with MIT to protect their customers from fraud.
“This is our first deployment in Latin America and is a great example of how our machine learning technology can be seamlessly integrated into systems across any geography or in any language."
