A partnership was announced today between Isracard, the largest credit card company in Israel, and Forter, the largest global real-time fraud decisioning solution. The partnership is part of a new initiative designed to enable Israeli merchants to reach a global audience online.

Expanding internationally is a key component of any growth plan for an Israeli business, but until now the challenge of dealing with global payments and fraud complexities have represented significant obstacles in achieving wider success. Isracard Global significantly streamlines and smoothes the process, lifting much of the payments burden from retailers’ shoulders so that they can focus on their core business products and expertise.

Among other advantages, working with Isracard Global allows merchants to work seamlessly with many currencies and ensures that merchants receive optimal rates from processors based on where the bulk of their international business is located. The partnership with Forter means that retailers’ online business is automatically protected from fraud without any additional friction being experienced by the customer.

“Israeli merchants are sensitive to the fact that they stand to bear all the costs of fraud for their online business,” said Michael Reitblat, CEO of Forter. “This leads to a fear of fraud that can cripple a business’ online success. Either they’re letting too many fraudulent transactions through, or blocking orders too stringently and losing legitimate business. Either way, Forter’s partnership with Isracard provides the ideal solution: Retailers can leave the fraud to the experts and know that they’ll get the best of both worlds with high approval rates and low chargebacks.”
