Visa Inc.,  a global payments
technology company, organized its first ever fraud prevention workshop
dedicated to its West Africa-based clients and partners. Held in Dakar, the
three-day workshop provided an in-depth look at the latest tools, information,
and best practices for issuers and acquirers to effectively combat fraud.
Workshop attendance was high, with thirty-two delegates representing 17 partner
banks from eight markets in West Africa attending the workshop.

Conducted by Visa Business School, the workshop outlined the key functional
areas that are critical for identifying fraud trends and neutralizing the most
advanced fraud threats in the payment industry. These areas include operations,
compliance programs, fraud risk management, data, merchant cardholder
monitoring and loss controls. “This workshop is part of Visa’s commitment to
share fraud prevention best practices and the latest technologies with our
clients in West Africa, a region that is witnessing considerable growth in
electronic payments driven by high rates of mobile penetration and adoption of
new trends in the payments industry,” said Ismahill Diaby, Visa’s West Africa
Manager. “The topic is very important as the region embarks on a journey to
gain the needed tools to offer more payment options, provide financial services
to underserved populations, and adapt to a fast-changing payments environment.”
With decades of expertise and practical payments experience gained across
every continent in the world, Visa Business School is uniquely positioned to
deliver fresh insights, relevant strategies, and best practices across a wide
range of payment topics. The school consists of Visa specialists who work every
