TORONTO, Ontario, May 22, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - Ethoca, the industry standard for collaboration-based technology solutions that help card issuers and online merchants increase card acceptance and stop ecommerce fraud, today announced that its Ethoca Alerts service has been selected Best Chargeback Management Program at the CNP Awards. The CNP Award Program is part of CNP Expo, a leading ecommerce payments and security exhibition that wraps up today in Orlando, Florida.
The Ethoca Alerts service was selected as the Judges Choice winner in the Best Chargeback Management Program category. The judging panel, which includes risk management and security experts from StubHub, Tiffany & Co. and Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, selected Ethoca's service based on its proven effectiveness in helping merchants eliminate the costly and disruptive impact of chargebacks on ecommerce. In 2013, the Ethoca Alerts service helped ecommerce merchants and card issuers prevent more than 275,000 chargebacks.
Over the past three years, Ethoca has become widely recognized for building a collaboration-based network that closes the fraud intelligence gap between card issuers and merchants. Through the company's unprecedented Ethoca Alerts service, ecommerce merchants can now directly benefit from card issuers' cardholder-confirmed fraud intelligence. For the first time, ecommerce merchants and online businesses can take immediate action to stop fraud that has already been confirmed by Ethoca's global network of card issuers and avoid the costly chargeback process. In turn, card issuers improve the customer experience for their cardholders, increase transaction income and reduce chargeback processing expenses.
"We are tremendously grateful to the judging panel of the CNP Awards and thrilled to win this prestigious award," said Julie Fergerson, SVP, Industry Solutions, Ethoca. "This is further validation that Ethoca Alerts is proven effective in preventing chargebacks at the source – the card issuing bank. At the end of the day, our customers want to make ecommerce simply about more commerce, more acceptance and an exceptional customer experience. Fraud and chargebacks disrupt the entire ecommerce ecosystem and prevent acceptance – Ethoca Alerts is taking that disruption away so merchants can focus on simply transacting with their customers."
