Three tools developed by Worldline and adapted to S-Bank processing have been implemented: • Worldline Pay Online Watcher: a real-time rules engine for front-office authorization declines.• Extended Watcher: providing artificial intelligence and big data analysis including clearing and confirmed fraud cases, as well as for sending card blocking instructions to the back-office.• Fraud Case Management tool: for case handling, investigations and call centre for cardholder interactions.Over 3 million customers in FinlandS-Bank is a Finnish bank which aims to offer banking services that make life easier.
