OVERVIEW
Making digital banking accessible for all
CoinJar is one of the most well-established, longest-running digital currency exchanges in the world. Founded in 2013, the platform has enabled over 500k online users to buy, sell, store, and spend cryptocurrencies. With over USD $2B traded and $300M+ assets under custody, protecting users and their holdings is critical—and that’s why CoinJar turned to Sift. Customized and real-time machine learning helps to proactively prevent payment fraud and account takeover.
CHALLENGE
Identity fraud, chargebacks, and account takeover
Digital currencies are highly volatile. Due to the irreversible nature of crypto transactions and the anonymity afforded by digital currencies, exchanges like CoinJar recognize value in taking additional precautions by partnering with Sift. And, unlike traditional financial institutions, CoinJar doesn’t meet customers in person, making it extremely important to have an effective and efficient online identity assurance program in place. Sift helps CoinJar to surface and reduce the risk of account takeover and payment fraud; custom machine learning models adapt in real time, using data from Sift’s vast merchant network of 34,000+ sites and apps and over 60B global signals.
SOLUTION
Custom ML models, seamless integrations
CoinJar utilizes Sift to prevent payment fraud and account takeover while delivering fast, simple experiences to hundreds of thousands of users. With customizable models and the ability to easily configure and integrate with the rest of CoinJar’s workflows, Sift caters to the exchange’s specific business needs, rather than requiring them to adjust processes or devalue daily tools in order to make room for fraud prevention.
Sift instantly adapts to CoinJar’s unique customer behaviors, while the ever-growing merchant network correlates CoinJar’s data with that from other companies. Combined, these cutting-edge features make fraud mitigation faster and more accurate, improving productivity and efficiency across CoinJar’s entire trust and safety organization, and reducing time spent on manual review by half.
Finally, Sift has also proven non-invasive for CoinJar’s customers, allowing a complete view of user events to help fight fraud while greenlighting trusted users without unnecessary friction.
RESULTS
Double the acceptance rate, half the time
Sift’s powerful suite of tools has helped CoinJar prevent fraud with significantly enhanced accuracy and improved decision-making. With key insights into IP locations, account sharing, and device usage, Sift streamlined CoinJar’s fraud identification process and user journey, delivering a 133% return on investment by saving compliance officers an average of 4 hours per day in manual detection, verification, and review.
Sift also enables CoinJar to identify unusual patterns of behavior across a single account or multiple accounts, and the intuitive Sift Console provides an easy overview of aggregate customer information. Analysts are now able to make more informed decisions and reach outcomes much faster as they complete CoinJar’s enhanced due-diligence process. Sift also integrates seamlessly with CoinJar’s systems and drastically reduces friction for trusted users.
