The State of Payment Processing & Fraud: 2018 Inaugural Survey & Report is a first-of-its kind study brought to you by Kount and The Fraud Practice. The inaugural survey reached hundreds of acquirers, processors, gateways, payment facilitators and issuers to get their take on the state of the industry and what is most critical for attracting and retaining clients and growing processing volumes.

From the report, “The 2018 Mobile Payments and Fraud Survey marks the sixth consecutive year of this study. This year’s report, with nearly 600 merchant respondents, is focused on understanding the growth, challenges and developments in the mobile channel. The report also set out to provide a better understanding of how the mobile market has evolved since the inaugural survey report in 2013.”

Kount and The Fraud Practice designed the State of CNP False Positives survey because false positives are one of the least, if not the least, understood aspects of risk management. While merchants tend to focus directly on chargebacks and fraud losses, false positives are another major source of lost revenue but are often underestimated if not ignored altogether.
