Agreement with TeleSign
ReD, a global provider of fraud prevention and payment services, has signed a partnership agreement with TeleSign, which focuses on Internet fraud prevention and intelligent phone-based authentication. Under the agreement, TeleSign’s data and authentication products will be integrated and made available to customers of the ReD Shield fraud prevention service.
ReD’s merchant customers will be able to access TeleSign phone identification and verification services from the ReD Shield customer service interface. These services will assist merchants’ fraud verification agents to check information provided as part of an order and more accurately assess the risks associated with individual orders. They will provide identity checks and help to accelerate authentication globally.
Kevin Sprake, ReD president for North America, said: “By giving our customers the opportunity to access these award-winning TeleSign services, we are further enabling automated reviews, faster authentication of good customers and more accurate risk assessments.”
