On a mission to establish trust in communications, Numeracle introduced the concept of EIM in 2018. Built on a Know Your Customer (“KYC”) framework, Numeracle’s EIM platform enables brands and authorized agents of a brand or brands to manage identity for communications. This includes the protection and management of brand reputation, the association of brand identity to outbound communications, and more.

“Verified Identities utilizing our Number Reputation Management solution can expect an average of 97% of their numbers to remain free from incorrect identity display or negative reputation,” said Anis Jaffer, Chief Product Officer, Numeracle. “For the remaining 3% of impacted numbers, ongoing visibility and remediation are delivered as part of our standard offering. But for those instances when you absolutely need to visually confirm exactly how a call is being delivered, live in the moment, beyond a reputation ratings dashboard, we now introduce Number Check.”

With an increasing variety of payment options available to consumers, eCommerce vendors must offer the most attractive payment methods for their customers. Given the cost and complexity of integrating a large number of payment options, merchants must strategically select which payment methods best support their objectives, such as BNPL (Buy Now Pay Later), to increase average order value.

Research author Cara Malone remarked: “eCommerce providers must understand their customer bases to a greater extent; offering the payment options customers want and removing undesirable options. In practice, this means working with eCommerce payment platforms that do not only understand and support the most common payment types in each country, but also recognise how these vary by vertical & target demographic. Understanding this can substantially improve the payments experience.”
