PORTLAND, OR--(Marketwired - Apr 16, 2013) - iovation , protecting business across the globe from Internet fraud and identifying good online customers with its device reputation technology , today announced it and analyst firm CEB TowerGroup will introduce three key benefits to identifying trusted website visitors at the upcoming Merchant Risk Council (MRC) 2013 European Spring Congress. Scott Olson, iovation's Vice President of Product, will jointly present with Jason Malo, Research Director at CEB TowerGroup, in the session entitled, "Spotlight Good Customers and Reduce Review Queues" April 18, 2013, at 11am BST in London.

The benefits of being able to identify good online customers include being able to reduce review queues, accelerate revenues and improve the customer experience. By knowing which customers to trust ahead of time, online retailers can focus on the riskiest transactions and eliminate unnecessary reviews, potentially saving them millions of dollars annually.

"iovation has been evaluating the trustworthiness of devices since 2004 and we have found that while online retailers typically review a good amount of online transactions, the vast majority are ultimately approved," said Olson. "By applying predictive analytics to their review queues, retailers can process good orders quicker, ship products faster, and increase customer satisfaction and loyalty."
