Other developments from Forter

In October 2022, Forter has launched Smart Claims to help businesses manage chargebacks and increase win rates. Smart Claims connects order and claims data across different payment systems into a single, consolidated view in order to enable merchants to resolve chargeback disputes more intelligently and efficiently, recover lost revenue, and improve win rates. 

The continued growth of online commerce has led to a notable increase in chargebacks, with the average merchant reporting a 25% year-over-year increase in chargeback issuances in 2021, according to Versapay. Chargebacks cost digital commerce businesses billions of dollars every year, and dealing with chargebacks has historically presented operational challenges and has been a time-consuming, costly, and risky process for merchants. 

In January  2023,  Forter has announced the acquisition of Immue, an Israel-based bot detection company to strengthen its existing fraud management capabilities. By acquiring Immue, Forter gained the ability to leverage domain-specific bot expertise, which can boost its efforts in offering real-time solutions to any fraud-related problems and bot attacks companies might face. 

Although not new a new threat, bot attacks have intensified by number in the past years, leaving the world’s biggest brands exposed to a series of identity threats, including account takeovers, service disruptions, reputation damage, and a decrease in consumer trust. By using Immue’s proprietary technology, Forter is able to detect bot attacks and stop the most sophisticated fraudsters’ attempts throughout the full customer lifecycle from account creation to checkout.
