Marqeta partners with Riskified to boost fraud detection before card authorisation

Marqeta has partnered with Riskified to integrate pre-authorisation risk intelligence into its card issuing platform. The collaboration aims to improve fraud detection and authorisation accuracy for issuers using Marqeta's services. The integration is expected to support higher approval rates for legitimate transactions whilst helping reduce false declines for merchants. By incorporating Riskified's fraud prevention tools directly into the authorisation process, Marqeta seeks to provide better risk assessment before transactions are approved. This partnership aligns with ongoing pressure across the payments industry to reduce fraud whilst maintaining fast and reliable checkout experiences. For issuers and merchants, better risk assessment may help approve more valid transactions whilst limiting exposure to fraudulent activity. The integration ties Marqeta's Real-Time Decisioning product more closely to fraud outcomes, potentially influencing how clients assess Marqeta compared with alternatives like Stripe and Adyen.
