ARC is excited to announce that El Al Israel Airlines will be the first launch partner for ARC Sentinel powered by Accertify. The prestigious Israeli-based carrier will employ the fraud prevention solution for its ARC travel agency transactions later this year. Doing so should provide ARC and Accertify with critical feedback needed to address customer needs before Sentinel’s final release.

“We welcome EL Al Israel Airlines as our first launch partner for ARC Sentinel. We know that this flexible, robust solution will greatly enhance El Al’s fraud reduction efforts while also supporting the settlement of valid sales. We look forward to the continual growth of our partnership as we fully implement this multi-faceted solution,” says Dottie Hogan, Director ARC Risk Management.

Esther Taub, Deputy Controller for ELAL USA, sees the tool as addressing a critical anti-fraud need in the travel industry. “ELAL is thrilled to be the first airline to take advantage of this new tool. We have found that while most airlines dedicate huge resources to the development of their Internet anti-fraud systems, they tend to ignore the increasing risk of credit card payments done via travel agents, assuming wrongly that the travel agent will bear the losses.”
