2015 Mobile Payments & Fraud Survey Open and Collecting Results
Newburyport, Mass., Boise, Idaho, Sarasota, Fla. (PRWEB) November 25, 2014 -- The third annual Mobile Payments & Fraud Survey is now open for input from all members of the payments ecosystem. Last year, nearly 2,000 participants made the survey the largest of its kind in the world with responses from merchants, service providers, payment processors, acquirers, card associations and issuers. Leading online payments industry publication CardNotPresent.com, antifraud technology provider Kount and payments consultancy The Fraud Practice have partnered again to develop and distribute a survey that will continue to identify and provide insightful analysis of the most pressing issues surrounding the fraud associated with mobile payments.
The annual survey has become a benchmark in the mobile payment industry, taking an ongoing look at the development of mobile payments and how fraud affects the decisions of the numerous stakeholders. Some of the insights gleaned from merchants reported in last year’s survey include:
• 66% of merchants surveyed now actively support mobile – up by 30% year over year
• Nearly half of merchants have a dedicated mobile website
• The number of merchants offering a mobile app for online shopping more than doubled to 54%
• Nearly a third of all merchants consider mobile as riskier than standard e-commerce
• The number of merchants who believe mobile-specific fraud prevention is increasingly necessary nearly doubled, accounting for almost a third of all merchants surveyed
“This research has become the industry standard each year for benchmarking fraud in the mobile channel,” said Steven Casco, CEO of CardNotPresent.com and the CNP Expo. “The only way it has achieved that level of success has been the willingness of thousands of the most important players in the payments industry to take the time to share their expertise and experience through our survey. We’re asking all merchants and service providers with payments responsibilities to contribute to the 2015 Mobile Payments & Fraud Survey so we can continue to provide the most relevant and actionable information in the industry about how fraud is affecting the fastest growing payment channel.”
Participants who complete the survey will receive an advance copy of the results and be entered into a drawing to win one of five new iPad Air 2 tablets. Click here to take the survey.
