41st Parameter has been invited to present during the upcoming China Airline Booking & Payment Summit, October 29-30 in Shanghai, China. Summit organizers called upon 41st Parameter to host and participate in two separate presentations during the conference; sharing knowledge derived from the company’s proven online fraud detection and prevention solutions for the Airline Industry.
October 29th – 41st Parameter will sit on a panel titled “The Development of an Airline’s Online Payment Strategy” moderated by AsiaPay with additional panelists from Gulf Air, Shanghai Airlines and China United Airlines. Mobile payment fraud is an emerging challenge for the Airline Industry; issues and counter-measures will be discussed.
October 30th - 41st Parameter will speak on “The Importance of Device Data: Empowering Airlines to Detect and Prevent Card Not Present Fraud across Multiple Reservation Channels.” The company will discuss the value of using a wider variety of information, including a combination of device information from any Internet-connected device combined with user-entered data, to more effectively detect fraud.
Payments fraud in the international airline industry is a serious and growing problem with reported losses exceeding $1.4 billion annually. A leading Chinese payment service provider recently reported a 60 percent increase in card not present fraud for Chinese airlines in the first half of 2009.
In addition, a surge in the use of mobile devices has created an acute challenge for the airline industry. In-Stat predicts the mobile payments market in China will grow to more than $13 billion by 2013. In a 2009 survey of airline industry fraud executives, 41st Parameter found most airlines reported insufficient rules and defense mechanisms, and a rise in card not present fraud.
41st Parameter’s FraudNet solution helps airlines around the world fight fraud. FraudNet utilizes multiple risk models providing the most accurate, end-to-end fraud screening available; beginning the moment a reservation is initiated through time of departure.
