"Our relentless focus on data and product innovation to future-proof risk mitigation from one integration proved itself this past year.", states Ingo Ernst, CEO, 4Stop. The global pandemic forged a new evolution of online engagement that many experts were not anticipating for years. Online businesses desperately required customer onboarding and fraud prevention solutions in a future-proofed, agile, and streamlined manner to manage the significant volume surges without multiple integrations.

"I am very proud of our data and risk marketplace that is home to hundreds of data services and anti-fraud tools. Merchants from any industry and region can quickly adapt their data and fraud defence in a pick-n-choose model and manage their volume demand with confidence.", adds Ingo Ernst.
Furthermore, 4Stop's momentum continues from the evolution of regulatory requirements, such as PSD2, which brings strong customer authentication. As a result, 4Stop's authentication data services increased by 838% in 2020. Their data marketplace increased 30% with specific credit and compliance data sources, including a partnership with Comply Advantage; a global leading Regtech data provider.
Additional factors to 4Stop's accelerated 2020 growth include;
- 100% growth volume in registration data verification calls from 2019
- 83% adoption growth in their newly developed Know Your Business automated underwriting and merchant onboarding solution
- Increased customer base by 31% from 2019
The need to manage hundreds of data and risk technology integrations that result in high costs, resources, slow operations and fragmented views of risk is no longer an acceptable risk mitigation solution businesses can utilise. 4Stop's globally agnostic data, compliance and risk marketplace helps entities of all sizes and industries connect and orchestrate various data points and verifications while tailoring fully automated, customisable and dynamic fraud prevention workflows and management tools. Companies obtain all the data and risk tools they need to be adaptive to any online engagement evolution.
