Countering Fraud in E-commerce in LATAM with Transact365

Share this post

E-commerce has revolutionised the way consumers are able to find and purchase goods and services online. In advanced economies, online transactions have become commonplace, with some businesses even phasing out cash payments completely. At the sametime, cash-dependent economies in emerging markets are starting to make the transition to online payment systems, embracing the benefits on offer from e-commerce.

This is particularly prevalent in Latin America (LATAM). There are approximately 300 million digital buyers, with this figure forecast to grow 25% by 2025. LATAM e-commerce volumes are also rising at over 30% per annum.

Offering tech-enabled platforms, global payment service providers allow merchants to access more consumers by providing local payment methods to emerging markets. While positive for the development of the region, rapid adoption of online payment systems has enabled the rapid rise of online retail sales but is also leading to a rise in fraudulent activities.

I didn't receive an e-mail

Tip: Check your spam

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association

Tip: Check “other” tabs

Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.

Tip: Click the link within 60 minutes

For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.

Tip: Only click once

The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.

Tip: Delete old login e-mails

Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.

Tip: Check your security policies

Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.

Need to change your e-mail address?

For security reasons, e-mail address changes can only be complete by your Member Engagement Manager. Please contact the team directly for further help.
