Where is Emailage most effective?

The passive nature of an email risk assessment ensures that it can be effective across a range of use cases, including:

New Account Opening

Analysing email risk when onboarding new customers can contribute to a positive user experience by ensuring the right level of friction is deployed. The additional risk insights can help good customers pass through quickly and reduce the number of referrals for marginal cases.

Guest Checkouts

An email risk assessment can passively assess risk for businesses looking to provide faster and simpler checkout experiences without adding additional friction or exposing themselves to greater fraud risk.

Card-not-present (CNP) Transactions

An email address is commonly obtained in digital transactions, and this alone can provide deep digital identity data that can help protect against CNP fraud and ensure the smooth processing of online payments.

Account Management

Ongoing email risk assessment can help you stay ahead of potential risks by quickly recognising when an existing customer might have fallen victim to fraud or identity theft and had their details used by fraudsters. Proactive risk assessment can help stay ahead of account takeover attempts.
