Ethoca

Ethoca provides collaboration-based intelligence and technology for fraud prevention, dispute reduction, and customer experience. Ethoca Alerts sends issuer fraud and dispute information to merchants in near real time, allowing them to stop fulfillment or issue refunds; merchants can use a secure portal or API. If an alert is not actioned, the issuing bank may process a chargeback. Consumer Clarity displays recognizable merchant information and digital receipts to cardholders in banking apps and to issuer staff, including names, logos, itemized receipts, and contact details. A single API supports purchase recognition and digital-experience capabilities. Smart Subscriptions lets consumers view and manage subscriptions through digital banking channels. Ethoca identifies merchants, issuers, and payment, fraud, or fintech providers as participants. It describes role-based access, governance oversight, privacy controls, and a ringfencing framework for brand-agnostic participation. The service supports Android, iOS, web, and API access. Pricing is on request.
