By GlobalDataBoosting authorisation rates by up to 10%
Early indications suggest that this approach can help businesses improve their authorisation rate up to 10% depending on the industry and region. This leads directly to a decrease in charge backs, fraud rejections and 3D Secure (3DS) errors.
Matias Fainbrum, VP Worldline Consulting Services, said: “In payments add-on consultancy services have typically been offered in a very transactional fashion with the express aim of selling additional products. Worldline Consulting Services has been set up very differently. We are adding a bespoke, value-enhancing layer on top of our existing customer support so our customers can optimise the way they operate.”
