E-Commerce is more secure than bricks-and-mortar stores
Cologne, 14 June 2007 – E-commerce is better than bricks-and-mortar stores in terms of customer payment behaviour. This is one of the conclusions made in the 2007 Pago Report entitled “Trends in consumer and payment behaviour in selected E-commerce industries in 2006”. The report is based on some 30 million real-life purchase transactions. Payment behaviour is measured by the chargeback ratio, which is the percentage of reversed credit card transactions resulting from objections made by cardholders. These are usually an indication of an attempted fraud attack. The chargeback ratio for German online consumers fell to just 0.087% in 2006. This is an historic low for this measure which has been calculated since the first edition of the Pago Report in 2002. The Report is the only study globally which analyses consumer and payment behaviour and is based on real-life purchase transactions (as opposed to survey polls) in important e-commerce industry sectors. In contrast, the shoplifting ratio in bricks-and-mortar stores was about 0.44% in the same period. This figure was published by the EHI (Euro Handelsinstitut) and HDE (Hauptverband des Deutschen Einzelhandels), two renowned retailing associations in Germany.
