PCI Pal Launches Fraud Management Suite to Strengthen Contact Center Security

Business Wire5 days ago
CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PCI Pal ® (LON: PCIP) today announced the launch of its new Fraud Management Suite, beginning with AI-powered risk scoring for customer engagements. Designed to protect against rising card-not-present (CNP) fraud, the new capability delivers real-time risk insights to agents and AI bots before a payment is collected — reducing chargebacks and revenue loss without adding friction to the customer experience.
'AI is transforming how we approach security — not just in detecting fraud, but in anticipating it."

CNP fraud remains one of the most costly threats for global businesses. While e-commerce channels benefit from tools like 3D Secure and biometric authentication, the voice channel — still central to many contact centers — has lacked equivalent protection. PCI Pal is closing that gap with a platform-led approach that combines security, compliance, and usability.
'This is the first step in a multi-product journey to deliver continuous value to our customers and partners,' said Alessandro Dalla Volta, VP of Product at PCI Pal. 'By embedding risk scoring into our Secure Payments Suite via an intuitive agent interface and a single API, we're giving contact centers powerful tools to detect fraud early and authenticate their customers seamlessly — across agents and bots using digital channels as needed.'
A Smarter Way to Fight Fraud
The new Fraud Management Suite helps organizations respond to evolving threats with:
Real-time AI-powered risk scoring leveraging technology for early fraud detection in partnership with Telesign, a Proximus Global company
Adaptive authentication, including 3D Secure and biometric wallet support
Advanced analytics and chargeback defense tools
Built for the Modern Contact Center
'AI is transforming how we approach security — not just in detecting fraud, but in anticipating it,' said Mufti Monim, CTO of PCI Pal. 'This launch lays the groundwork for a more intelligent and adaptive platform, that secures payments across all channels while enhancing both customer and agent experiences. It's the first step in a broader roadmap to unify fraud prevention, compliance, and customer experience into one seamless, scalable platform.'

Terra Firma Energy Welcome UK Government Consultation on Hydrogen Blending into Great Britains Gas Transmission Network

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--At Terra Firma Energy, we welcome the UK Government's consultation into the blending of Hydrogen into Britain's Gas Transmission Network as a timely and positive step forward for both the UK's decarbonisation goals and the future of flexible power generation. All our projects are engineered to be hydrogen-ready from the outset, ensuring long-term operational flexibility and resilience in a rapidly evolving energy landscape. By anticipating changes in fuel supply and regulatory frameworks, we have future-proofed our generation assets to adapt quickly to low-carbon solutions like hydrogen blending. The ability to support hydrogen integration, even at early-stage blend levels, reinforces our commitment to sustainable innovation and positions our portfolio to contribute meaningfully to a net zero grid. Terra Firma Energy welcome UK Government Consultation on Hydrogen Blending into Great Britains Gas Transmission Network. Share The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) has launched a new consultation exploring the potential for blending low-carbon hydrogen into Great Britain's gas transmission network. Following previous consultations on hydrogen blending into local distribution networks, the government is now seeking views on whether introducing hydrogen at the transmission level - the high-pressure National Transmission System (NTS) - could offer strategic and economic value. A Step Toward Net Zero Hydrogen is seen as a key player in the UK's push to reach net zero emissions by 2050. Blending low-carbon hydrogen with natural gas could offer a transitional path, supporting early-stage hydrogen production while reducing the carbon intensity of the existing gas network. DESNZ is currently evaluating whether to enable blending of up to 2% hydrogen by volume into the NTS. This small percentage could act as an 'off-taker of last resort' for hydrogen producers, providing a backup market when dedicated customers are not available. Balancing Innovation with Risk The consultation outlines both the potential benefits and challenges. While hydrogen blending could support the growth of the hydrogen economy and help manage electricity system constraints, it also raises concerns for industrial users connected to the transmission system. Many of these users rely on stable, high-quality gas supplies, and even a 2% hydrogen blend could affect equipment performance, increase costs, or require infrastructure upgrades. Terra Firma Energy have been proactive in ensuring all our projects have been built utilising hydrogen ready generation sets that can accommodate a 20% blend of hydrogen into the network. Studies cited in the consultation show that most transmission-connected users could technically handle a 2% blend with minimal changes, though feasibility studies and equipment modifications may still be necessary. At higher blends (5% or 20%), the risks and costs escalate significantly. Cross-Border Considerations The UK's ability to blend hydrogen is also influenced by developments in the EU. Under the EU Hydrogen and Decarbonised Gas Market Package, Member States can blend up to 2% hydrogen by volume, but are not required to do so. This creates potential interoperability issues with the UK's gas inter-connectors to Ireland, Belgium, and the Netherlands - especially if hydrogen blends exceed that threshold.

1 Magnificent S&P 500 Dividend Stock Down 4% to Buy and Hold Forever

Key Points Coca-Cola and the S&P 500 have moved in opposite directions over the last three months. Revenue rose due to higher prices. The company has raised its dividend annually for more than six decades. 10 stocks we like better than Coca-Cola › The market has rebounded impressively after a rough few months at the start of the year. Over the last three months, through July 29, the S&P 500 index has gained 14.6%. However, Coca-Cola's (NYSE: KO) share price has moved in the opposite direction, losing 4.1%. That may scare some people, but dividend-seeking investors should view this as a buying opportunity. In fact, Coca-Cola should be part of their core long-term holdings. Higher revenue Coca-Cola only sells beverages. That means management can concentrate its efforts solely on this business and not get distracted by unrelated or tangential businesses. While it's known for soda, it also sells other drinks like water, juice, sports drinks, and plant-based beverages. That's beneficial given consumers' changing tastes. Right now, people have been more drawn to healthier drinks. The company sells its products globally in more than 200 countries. This geographic reach helps diversify Coca-Cola's revenue stream. Nonetheless, investors were undoubtedly disappointed by Coca-Cola's second-quarter revenue. While volume had been positive, it dropped in the second quarter. Revenue, removing foreign-currency translation effects and the impact from acquisitions/divestitures, grew 5% from a year ago. This was entirely due to higher prices and a different mix, which added 6 percentage points. Decreased volume subtracted 1 percentage point. Still, it's heartening to see Coca-Cola grow profits even in a challenging quarter. Adjusted operating income increased 15% year over year. While consumers may have gotten tired of overall price increases, when they adjust, they'll undoubtedly buy more Coca-Cola products. They're popular and ubiquitous -- you can find the items in stores, restaurants, and stadiums, among other places. Dividend grower Fortunately, Coca-Cola investors can rely on collecting dividends. You can see the company's strong commitment by looking at its history. The board of directors raised the quarterly payout by more than 5% this year to $0.51. That marked an impressive 63 straight years of higher dividends, and makes the company a Dividend King. Even more importantly, Coca-Cola has the ability to keep making payouts. It has a 69% payout ratio, which indicates the company can easily afford to keep paying dividends out of its earnings. The stock has a higher dividend yield than the large-cap stocks as measured by the S&P 500. Coca-Cola shares yield 3% compared to 1.2% for the index. Better valuation Meanwhile, the share price drop over the last three months has resulted in a better valuation. Coca-Cola's price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio currently stands at 24, down from 29. The stock also has a better valuation than the S&P 500. The index has a P/E multiple of 30. Formed in 1886, Coca-Cola is a mature company, so it may never achieve breakneck sales and earnings growth. Its own long-term goals call for 4% to 6% annual revenue growth and 7% to 9% earnings per share increases. But if you're looking for steady gains that produce stock price appreciation and dividends, Coca-Cola belongs in your portfolio. And with the recent stock price dip, the shares trade at a more attractive valuation. That adds up to a buying opportunity for long-term investors looking for an attractive total return opportunity.
