Hanseatic Bank selects CA Technologies to tackle credit fraud

The bank is using the CA solution, which supports 3D multi-layered authentication, to authenticate cardholders during the checkout process to help prevent credit card fraud.

The authentication happens behind the scenes and is based on patent-pending analytic techniques. This helps reduce friction and decrease shopping cart abandonment in card-not-present (CNP) transactions by identifying legitimate cardholders and allowing them to proceed directly to checkout.

Hanseatic Bank is a private bank based in Germany. The French bank Société Générale acquired 75% of the shares in Hanseatic Bank in 2005, with the Otto Group continuing to own a 25% stake. The bank specializes in its four core businesses: consumer credits, deposit-taking, insurance and receivables management.
