UTP Shield is a software algorithm that detects potentially fraudulent card transactions, or transactions that carry a chargeback risk. This then notifies the business owner via text and e-mail, informing them of the risk of potential chargebacks, and allowing them to place goods on hold to high-risk buyers.
The launch of the new product comes at a time when sellers lost USD 42 billion globally due to all types of fraud in 2020, and 75% of organisations across the world have reported an increase in fraud attempts over since 2020, according to a 2022 report by MRC.
Company officials stated that the UTP shield gets to know a consumers business, including creating a profile of usual trading hours, methods of payment accepted, and the location of customers, enabling the software to flag suspicious transactions, while operating 24/7.
