Retail Decisions (ReD), a card issuer and a world leader in card fraud prevention and payment processing is pleased to announce a new research and development project in conjunction with City University London, the UK's leading research centre in neural computing. The project will focus on enhancing and advancing ReD's neural technology PRISM(R).

PRISM(R) is ReD's proprietary neural technology developed by Nobel Prize winning scientist, Dr. Leon Cooper. The PRISM product line utilises both predictive neural and rules-based technologies and is designed to keep pace with the ever-changing patterns of behaviour in the area of financial fraud.

Total losses on UK-issued payment cards rose by 25 per cent in 2007 to GBP535.2m according to payments group APACS; that is more than GBP10m being lost every week by UK businesses despite the tools already put in place to tackle the problem.

Dr. Mark Goldspink, Managing Director of ReD Merchant Services said: "ReD's fraud prevention systems review 14 billion card transactions around the globe, annually. ReD prevents around GBP600m in attempted fraudulent purchases for our clients every year. ReD is committed to advancing payment fraud detection by working with the research team at City University London. City University London takes a refreshing approach to working with commercial partners and together we are looking at the future of fraud prevention."

Nick Ryman-Tubb, honorary visiting research fellow at City University London, heading up the anti-fraud research said: "We are delighted to welcome ReD to the growing number of businesses who are joining with academia to solve real-world problems. We are confident that our research at City University London will have a major impact on helping to prevent card crime."

Neural computing has already proven to be a good ally in the war against sophisticated payment fraud, so this leading edge research with City University London, will help strengthen ReD's core neural computing technology which is used daily to screen millions of payment transactions.
