Verifi

Verifi is an end-to-end payment protection and management solutions firm founded in 2005. It is based in Los Angeles, California, and has close to 9000 accounts. 

History
Matthew Katz, Verifi’s founder and CEO, started the company after developing a customized solution that systematically identifies multiple types of payment risk. Katz initially started a successful business while still in college and saw subsequent success as an entrepreneur, having founded and partnered several other businesses and consulting firms. Mr. Katz is a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis with a degree in Economics.

Process
Verifi works with payment card issuers and merchants by helping to protect card payments through the entire payment life-cycle. Their technology helps merchants process payments, streamline fraud, and prevent fraudulent or erroneous chargebacks. The company’s primary product offering is Cardholder Dispute Resolution Network (CDRN), which helps connect financial organizations and merchants, allowing merchants to act in real time to issue refunds, work to clear up equivocal transaction histories, or initiate traditional chargeback procedures.

In April 2017, Verifi launched Order Insight, a collaboration platform that connects cardholders, merchants and issuers to resolve billing confusion and disputes in real time. Through the platform, order details are made available to consumers via their card issuer. If a consumer elects to contact the issuing bank, their call center or back office personnel have access to the same order details and compelling evidence.

Industries
Verifi works within most retail-related industries, with omni-channel and e-commerce merchants, and maximizes "payment yield" across the entire transaction life-cycle.
