Today's Payment and Fraud Landscape in Israel

At BlueSnap, there’s nothing we love more than meeting up with our friends at Kount to talk about the best ways to protect payments and sell globally — and what better place to have that conversation than in Tel Aviv, Israel, ranked one of the most important economic hubs in the world.

That’s right. On April 8th, four innovators in the fraud and payments world are gathering for a live seminar at LABS TLV to discuss:

• The latest fraud trends and how to protect your business
• The value of a global, All-in-One Payment Platform
• The best tools and tactics for securing IoT device payments
• The state of digital innovation today and how to prepare for the future

… and more!

If you’re from an Israeli business selling globally or into other countries, you don’t want to miss this.

Selling Globally Presents Large-Scale Challenges

If you’ve been trying to sell internationally for any period of time, then you’ve probably run into some of these issues:

Limited Payment Type Offerings

Firstly, many of the local credit card processors in Israel don’t support the relevant, localized payment types you need to successfully sell into other regions. In the US, for example, payment methods like Paypal, ACH, and American Express are incredibly popular. If you’re not offering these payment options to your US customers — especially if you’re a B2B company — then you might as well not be selling to them at all.

Low Cross-Border Payment Acceptance Rates

If that weren’t enough, most local Israeli payments providers are only partnered with one global bank, which means that any sales made into the US or EU will be more likely to be rejected or flagged as fraud. Statistically, locally-processed transactions have higher acceptance rates, so the location of the acquiring bank is critical for successfully selling into different regions.

Cumbersome (and Costly) Integrations

If you want to offer multiple, localized payment methods such as eWallets, most Israeli-based payment processors require you to integrate with several different solutions for each. Managing all of these integrated solutions is tricky for even the most seasoned of developers.
