The world’s first digital-goods-focused entirely automated chargeback guarantee platform, nSure.ai, highlighted new findings of online-retailer credit card processor activities and anti-fraud applications.
Their study found that 87% of all the declined transactions across crypto, gift cards, gaming, prepaid, fintech, and other sectors were not illegal in nature. The nascent digital goods market industry is expected to surge above $5.4tn this year, partially as a result in the rise of crypto trading, nonfungible tokens, online gaming, digital gift cards, and several other instantaneously redeemable purchase.
This scenario creates challenges for sellers who cannot retract or void sales in case fraud is discovered after the transaction is completed. After value gets transferred to a digital good, it can be anonymously redeemed on different platforms like eBay or crypto exchanges.
To resolve the issue, nSure.ai provides a chargeback guarantee relying on a system that is developed in-house to discover the criminals based on different cross-web behaviors, and successfully reducing product decline rates by about 66% and approving up to 95% of transactions.

The data is in comparison to the massive industry standard of declining 15%-20% of the executed transactions. Alex Zeltcer, Co-founder & CEO of nSure.ai, stated:
“Seeing such a high decline rate of legitimate transactions makes it near-impossible for businesses to scale, especially with its imbalanced impact on new customers. Payment fraud detection systems that are designed to protect the sale of digital goods are easily triggered since they were developed based on an outdated e-commerce goods framework. This new realm of digital goods is being held back by outdated security practices.”
nSure.ai analysts acknowledged patterns that sow online fraud detection is unevenly spread across various industries. Noa Ehrenhalt, Data Analyst at nSure.ai, stated:
“E-gaming loses 12.8% of transactions while gift card purchases are declined 19.5% of the time. Even higher is the prepaid debit card sector, which declines just below 23% of all transactions.”
It means that retailers are currently leaving millions of dollars on the table, being compelled by legacy anti-fraud platforms to reject the buying request or risk a significant chargeback where they are compelled to pay back the whole transaction to the credit card issuer without any other alternative.
More consideration for the online sellers is the lifetime value and negative sentiment a customer carries after being falsely declined. Being denied to a platform increases the possibility of going anywhere else with the hesitation of returning in the future.

E-Crypto News: What kind of data does nSure.ai collect and is it PCI/GDPR compliant?
nSure.ai primarily uses behavioral data that cannot be manipulated. Instead of focusing on identity verification, we see the bigger picture – identifying scalable fraud rings using behavioral analysis.
We also utilize personal information when available, though the digital goods, and crypto industries are looking to provide anonymous and frictionless experiences. That means removing Know Your Customer (KYC) was not required and skipping phone or email verification etc.
nSure.ai is fully GDPR and CCPA compliant. As nSure.ai does not process transactions, we do not need to be PCI compliant.

The integration process is simple.
The REST API is well documented, and a dedicated Technical Account Manager is available to answer any questions and help guide our client.

The client-side integration (SDK-based) requires ‘zero’ effort, and tracks all client activities, every click, every gesture, every keystroke, and more to successfully identify behavioral patterns that provide nSure.ai’s engine with the data it needs to assess the risk when a transaction finally occurs.
