In addition to Account Protect, the company's Payment Protect solution provides highly accurate risk scoring that merchants can use to inform the approval of new transactions - all based on proprietary machine learning models trained on 2 trillion data points. Its Payment Guarantee solution uses machine learning so sophisticated that Vesta approves 95% of transactions and offers customers zero fraud liability. Vesta's technology is developed and trained by a team of experts handling every element of fraud detection, including manual reviews and chargeback representation, for complete transaction protection. Vesta's solutions all add up to help customers increase revenue by maximizing approvals of legitimate sales.
"Vesta's comprehensive approach stops account takeovers and other forms of online fraud before they can happen, helping businesses not only eliminate fraud and avoid chargebacks but also protect their brands and ultimately grow their revenue by improving the customer experience and strengthening their trust," said Ron Hynes, CEO of Vesta. "For FinTech Breakthrough to recognize what we're doing is an honor and an incentive to keep up our record of innovation as we continue to grow our business."
