Online fraud is on the rise, with attacks increasing 21% this year alone, so it makes sense that online security is top of mind for both consumers and merchants. In fact, card-not-present (CNP) fraud cost companies $35.54 billion dollars globally in 2020.
But companies are finding it difficult to thread the needle between keeping online transactions secure and delivering the kind of frictionless experience online customers expect:
- Too many validation steps can turn off good customers, with 22% of cart abandoners choosing not to complete their purchase if they are required to create an account;
- A mere two-second delay in load time can lead to abandonment rates of up to 87%; and
- 58% of declined transactions online are actually legitimate orders.
