TRANSACTIONS
Your Location
Your Credit Card

With your GSM/LTE phone and network location API our banking partners can readily
check the country location to prevent fraud at a speed needed for financial transactions!
10. Fraud Prevention Service
▪ Two major use cases for cross-border payment card transactions are as follows:
– RRRReeeedddduuuucccciiiinnnngggg CCCCrrrroooossssssss-BBBBoooorrrrddddeeeerrrr PPPPaaaayyyymmmmeeeennnntttt CCCCaaaarrrrdddd FFFFrrrraaaauuuudddd
A significant amount of payment card fraud occurs with transactions originating in countries other than the
cardholder’s own. Providing the Customer with the country that the user’s mobile phone is currently located in will
allow them to more accurately determine whether transactions occurring in a foreign country are likely to be
fraudulent.

Due to the high incidence of fraud with foreign transactions, many legitimate overseas transactions are falsely

currently located in will allow them to better manage risk while approving more foreign transactions occurring in
the same country as the user’s mobile phone.

13. Business Models with Aggregators
Usual business models apply here
1. Revenue share model between operators and aggregators
2. Some aggregators are willing to pay a flat fee for unlimited usage of location
information to support multiple partners ( e.g. banks)
3. Certain aggregators prefer exclusivity for working with operators iinn cceerrttaaiinn mmaarrkkeett

14. Technical aspects
1. Latency requirements are challenging – 300 milliseconds to retrieve the location of
registered customer mobile number
2. Pushing the location data proactively (when customer registers in a roaming network) is
probably the best option to ensure last known location is available at the time of credit
card transaction
3. Data Processors (aggregators) do not need to store the real network iiddeennttiittyy ((ii.ee.
MSISDN) of the customer and shall store hashed identity for auditing, settlement and
operational purposes. Operators may need to agree on a common mechanism to
generate a one-way hash to support customer care processes

15. Compliance to Data Privacy is the key ....
1. And specially in Germany from the customer point of view
2. Customer consent for sharing the location data must be in place but operators do not
necessarily have to acquire it if banks have acquired it
3. Aggregators are playing a key role in terms of integrating banks to operators and
defined as “Data Processors” in terms of legal terms
4. Major effort is getting the access to the customer data from the underlying NATCO
systems

17. Recap – Take aways
1. Money is not in the APIs but in the specific industry solutions where APIs become
relevant.
2. Work closely with vertical industries and build bespoke solutions for well known
services like Identity, Location as well as well as new areas like WebRTC to identify the
unique value Telcos can provide in a certain context
3. Most of the operators have spent lot of money in long-tail developer programs.
Operators need to engage long tail developers for innovation but focus on enterprises
for monetization of operator’s assets
