Liverpool, UK, March 26, 2018 -- Shop Direct has signed a contract to voice security and authentication technology from Pindrop to detect fraud on phone calls.

Pindrop’s audio "fingerprinting" technology will be used to help the online retailer improve customer service, detect fraud and deliver a more efficient customer experience.

Pindrop’s patented phoneprinting technology creates an "audio fingerprint" of each call by analysing call features, such as voice, location, background noise, number history and call type

 

Neil Chandler, CEO of financial services at Shop Direct, said: "Protecting our customers is our priority and investing in technology like this is one of the ways we can stay a step ahead of fraudsters. Our partnership with Pindrop will let us further strengthen our security, whilst reducing call times for customers."

Nick Gaubitch, Research Director at Pindrop, said: "Our Phoneprinting technology identifies and analyses a call’s audio in real time to indicate if a caller is suspicious."
