Despite only being roughly the size of Michigan, the UK boasts the fifth strongest economy in the world and its most well known city, London, is the fifth wealthiest globally. Brexit be damned, between their daily tea breaks consumers in the region certainly still have money to burn—and no matter where you're based, you want more of it spent with your business…But, securely.
As of 2017, fraud is officially a billion pound industry in the UK.Losses due to unauthorized transactions on payment cards, remote banking and checks totaled £731.8 million. Through various methods, fraudsters are able to use stolen credit cards to make purchases all over the internet. The cost--to businesses and honest consumers alike--is high.
However, TeleSign is prepared to help you quell this fraud. Using our mobile identity solutions you can better verify UK-customer transactions to be sure that the person making the purchase is who they say they are. TeleSign will snuff these fraudsters out and send them to the Tower of London! (Or, just off your platform.)
