Online merchants see first-party abuse as one of the biggest fraud threats they face. When the MRC | Merchant Risk Council surveyed 1,166 online brands for this year’s global fraud report, the merchants listed #ReturnAbuse and #FirstPartyAbuse as their top #EcommerceFraud challenges. In fact, more than 60% of those surveyed said first-party abuse had increased over the past year. Catherine Tong (FCA), a partner at payments consultancy Allyiz digs into the reasons for the rise in first-party fraud.

Thanks Catherine Tong (FCA) for the insight! Returns abuse is a huge industry cost and consumers (at least in North America) have been trained to expect merchants to bear these costs. Finding innovative ways to avoid transactions that are likely to result in abuse are a huge way to reduce these costs.
