Global payments technology company, the Visa Incorporated
has held its Visa Business School’s three-day workshop in Dakar, Senegal,
reports ITRealms.
The West Africa Manager at Visa, Ismahill Diaby, said this
is its first ever fraud prevention workshop dedicated to its West Africa-based
clients and partners.
The three-day workshop, Diaby said, provided an in-depth
look at the latest tools, information, and best practices for issuers and
acquirers to effectively combat fraud, stressing that attendance was high, with
32 delegates representing 17 partner banks from eight markets in the
sub-region.
Also, Diaby said, the workshop outlined the key functional areas
that are critical for identifying fraud trends and neutralizing the most
advanced fraud threats in the payment industry, which include operations,
compliance programmes, fraud risk management, data, merchant cardholder
monitoring and loss controls.
“This workshop is part of Visa’s commitment to share fraud
prevention best practices and the latest technologies with our clients in West
Africa, a region that is witnessing considerable growth in electronic payments
driven by high rates of mobile penetration and adoption of new trends in the
payments industry,” Diaby said.
Pointing out that the topic is very important as the
subregion embarks on a journey to gain the needed tools to offer more payment
options, provide financial services to underserved populations, and adapt to a
fast-changing payments environment.”
