Javelin Strategy & Research Features GIACT Systems in Annual Identity Proofing Platform Scorecard

DALLAS, Oct. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- GIACT Systems, the industry leader in payment fraud reduction, today announced that it was named a Contender in the Javelin 2017 Identity Proofing Platform Awards, in the Functional and Innovative categories among 23 vendors evaluated.  The award was based on GIACT's gIdentify, which helps financial institutions and other payment providers positively identify customers in real-time.

Javelin's inaugural Identity Proofing Platform scorecard provides financial institutions and other identity-reliant businesses with a view into the identity proofing vendor landscape, to better assess their current capabilities against modern fraud threats and to facilitate the process of identifying potential new partners.
