Step-Up Authentication Monitor Your User

Greater Assurance for High-Risk Transactions

A Continuous Fight Against Fraud

Protecting against fraud doesn’t stop after a customer is successfully onboarded. As customers begin to transact, some activities may, in fact, pose a greater risk than the onboarding process. A simple request to change an email may seem straightforward but it starts to look more like fraud when coming from a new device with a new geo location. A one-off, high-value transaction may also raise suspicion. Consequently, a higher level, step-up authentication process may be required to prevent fraud and should be done in a way that doesn’t needlessly inconvenience your customers.

Convenient, Biometric-based Re-Verification

Account activities like a high-value transfer that are deemed suspicious and require step-up authentication come with little friction. Instead of contacting a call center, users go through a convenient yet secure biometric authentication process that quickly confirms valid users and stops fraudsters.
