Experian Brings Affordable Fraud Protection to Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises

Fraud Shield(SM) Score Plus offers predictive fraud scoring to previously underserved market

COSTA MESA, Calif., March 9 -- Experian®, the global information services company, today announced the launch of Fraud Shield(SM) Score Plus, a new predictive fraud score designed to provide small to midsize businesses with an effective approach to combat fraud with little to no IT investment or process change.

"Fraud protection is becoming increasingly important for small and medium-sized businesses," said Hiq Lee, general manager of Experian's Fraud and Identity Solutions group. "Fraudsters do not only attack the largest institutions, but they also target smaller institutions that have historically had less-robust fraud defenses. It's imperative that organizations of this size implement strategies and tools to combat the mounting attack."

Fraud Shield Score Plus works with Fraud Shield(SM) to generate an easy-to-read predictive fraud score and deliver it in tandem with a consumer credit profile. It is ideal for organizations that want to reduce fraud losses but, from a resource perspective, currently are not positioned to integrate with Experian's more multifaceted Precise ID(SM) fraud detection platform.

The combined power of Fraud Shield and Fraud Shield Score Plus provides focused support to:

  --  Reduce fraud losses and increase profits
  --  Improve customer satisfaction by consistently and efficiently
      approving legitimate applications
  --  Increase the number of good customers booked and decrease approvals of
      fraudulent applications
  --  Meet various compliance requirements
