"The cloud-based version of Falcon gives us greater flexibility to serve our customers with better fraud protection," said Yannick Leclerc, head of fraud in EnterCard Group. "We will have greater control over how we communicate with customers when fraud is suspected, which will help us improve the customer journey in a fraud context."

EnterCard is also buying the automated customer communications software, FICO^® Fraud Resolution Manager, which they can use to contact customers in real time, through the customer's preferred channel, to resolve any fraud incidents.

"It's no longer enough simply to detect and prevent fraud — the customer experience is a critical factor," said Dylan Jones, who oversees FICO's work in the Nordics. "We are seeing more Scandinavian lenders looking to improve this part of the fraud process. EnterCard have taken the lead in this area."

Globally, the FICO^® Falcon^® Platform is the leading payments fraud management solution, protecting more than 2.6 billion payment cards. With the platform, organizations can cost-effectively reduce fraud losses, protect brand reputation, gain efficiencies and improve the customer experience across multiple products, channels and lifecycle stages.
