The Aegenis Group Files for Patent on AR² Risk Methodology
The Aegenis Group announced this week that it has filed for a patent on its proprietary methodology for assessing merchant risk within an acquirer's portfolio. Park City, UT (PRWEB) June 14, 2007 -- The Aegenis Group announced this week that it has filed for a patent on its proprietary methodology for assessing merchant risk within an acquirer's portfolio. The AR²T Acquirer Risk model, created by company founder Chris Mark, allows acquirers to identify and assess large groups of merchants quickly and accurately, reflecting not only their likelihood of compromise, but the potential impact to the acquirer should a compromise occur. Unlike other risk tools available in the payments industry, the AR² methodology arms acquiring banks with the tools that they need to take proactive, measurable steps to manage compromise risk.
