There’s hardly a day that goes by without news about data breaches, illegal hacking and identity theft. No entity seems to be immune, including retailers. Criminal fraudsters are illegally getting access to millions of consumer credit card details and private data files, even while new payment systems are evolving with new technology and capturing consumer spending habits. This is further amplified by the advent of mobility into the mix. Mobile payments has captured the imagination of the Millennial generation, and the need for better fraud protection is now more important than ever.

The Fraud 360 World Tour will be landing in Vancouver on September 22 at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, 655 Burrard Street.

Speaker: Steve Casco, Chief Executive Officer, CardNotPresent.com

2) Staying Out of Chargeback Hell

Speaker: Don Bush, Vice President of Marketing, Kount
Chargebacks are the number one indicator of a fraud problem, but the way chargebacks are reported to merchants makes it difficult to determine how and why they occurred. We’ll review common symptoms of fraud that can cause chargebacks and best practices to avoid them in the future.
