Fraud is a constant risk that preoccupies card issuers, more so after the pandemic, which triggered a surge in digital payments. More than 450 billion card payments were processed in 2020 – a magnet for perpetrators of fraud, and a serious headache for businesses accepting cards.

“We’re seeing fraud increases worldwide weigh heavily on card issuers and processors, intensifying the need to offer highly effective risk and fraud management solutions that are tailored to individual cardholder experiences,” said Randy Kern, Chief Technology Officer of Marqeta. “Marqeta’s deep expertise in issuing helps us provide a unique, end-to-end fraud and risk management solution that is specifically tailored to card-issuing transaction data.”
