With the increased attention on fraud and cyber security, Experian has seen more companies turn to its CrossCore™ product to strengthen fraud mitigation efforts without the burden of custom integrations for every new service.
“We’re quickly adding new partners so we can give our clients more choices than ever before,” said Steve Platt, global executive vice president, Fraud and Identity, Experian. “When we launched CrossCore in June, we said that before CrossCore, no one vendor could do it all. The ‘plug-and-play’ capability allows companies to connect multiple disparate services through a common access point for a layered approach to managing risk.”
We are determined to help clients stop fraud faster while minimizing the integration burden on IT. So, how are we doing that? CrossCore supports a layered approach to managing risk, allowing partners to offer value-added services alongside existing Experian fraud and identity solutions. Experian clients can further reduce risks by accessing capabilities from Emailage, Whitepages Pro, iQor and myNetWatchman through the industry’s first open platform. Additionally, Monitise FINKit® clients can access the identity and fraud management capabilities of the CrossCore platform.
There is an essential complexity to fraud mitigation. Integration through CrossCore makes things like policy changes a simple matter by turning specific services on and off in each decision flow. Clients can choose the services they want, when they want them, to dial in the right confidence level for each and every transaction — and they can do it with the click of a button.
Companies can connect any new or existing tools and systems in one place. Powerful workflow and strategy design capabilities allow fraud and compliance teams to rapidly create and adapt strategies based on evolving threats and business needs.
