ANNOUNCEMENT: Paymenex and xWallet facilitating online transactions

Fighting fraud

According to eMarketer, business to consumer (B2C) ecommerce sales have grown by 21.1% and have reached over USD1 trillion in 2012.  It is forecasted that B2C sales will increase by 18.3% in 2013 to approximately USD1.298 trillion worldwide.  The Asia-Pacific region is expected to surpass North America as the number 1 market for ecommerce sales.

While these figures are quite promising for businesses engaged in ecommerce, it is also important to note that cybercrime stands at USD388bn and is 100 times more than the annual expenditure of UNICEF.  Nearly 1 million adults become cybercrime victims every day.  44% of all online adults have experienced cybercrime last year.
