Recently in Japan, damages from unauthorized use of credit cards have been increasing year by year with reported increases of approximately ten billion yen for two consecutive years.

Meanwhile, the EC market in APAC, which includes Southeast Asia, accounts for 64% of the global market and is growing at an average annual rate of more than 15%, which exceeds the global average growth rate of 14.5%. This market is expected to surpass approximately 33.386 trillion yen (234 billion dollars)*4 by 2025. In light of these market trends, Cacco has partnered with Mulai to reinforce the provision of services to support fraud prevention on EC sites and in online transactions for Southeast Asia by leveraging the technology, expertise, and experience the company has cultivated in Japan.
