"Customer-Not-Present fraud is a growing problem that none of us can stop alone," said Eugene Pritsker, Founder of The Twister Group. "We believe that online sellers must combine efforts, the same way that fraudsters have been doing for years. Ethoca's collaborative fraud management network enables us to share our experiences safely and securely -- this is truly the next frontier in fighting fraud."

Today's announcement adds momentum to the growing movement of merchants joining together as collaborators in the fight against fraud. From online retail to electronic payments to online charities to gaming, global leaders in the world's major e-commerce markets see Ethoca's collaborative fraud management service as a way to make informed decisions and enhance profitability. For example, recent research data has shown that over $30 billion in revenue is foregone by e-businesses annually because they lack the tools to better assess transaction risk -- Ethoca offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to recover this lost revenue. Ethoca is a unique service that allows companies to learn and benefit from the fraud experiences of other companies - accepting more of the "right" types of transactions increases revenue, and declining the "wrong" ones reduces losses and non-payment.

"By connecting to our collaborative fraud management community, The Twister Group is demonstrating real leadership in the fight against fraud," said Andre Edelbrock, Ethoca's President and CEO. "Businesses around the world are quickly realizing that effective fraud management is about cooperation, not competition."
