HAZLET, N.J., Jan. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Retail Decisions ("ReD") a world leader in card fraud prevention and payment processing, is pleased to announce Federated Department Stores, Inc. parent of the world- famous department stores Macy's and Bloomingdale's will use ReD's ebitGuard(TM) risk management service to prevent online fraud.

Kent Anderson, President of Macy's.com said:

"We're experiencing tremendous growth in our online businesses. With this success, however, we have seen fraud attempts increasing and changing in nature. Rather than continue to cope with this moving target internally, we decided to bring in Retail Decisions, the world's foremost risk management experts. Partnering with Retail Decisions will allow us to concentrate on our core competencies."

"ebitGuard is a customized risk management platform that will allow our e- Commerce stores to accept a maximum number of orders while keeping the criminals at bay. Doing business with ReD allows us to continue to grow our online business with confidence."

Carl Clump, CEO of Retail Decisions plc, added:

"We are delighted to have been selected by Federated and we are dedicated to helping them grow their online business. As we have seen before with other clients, the process of moving a traditional retail business online can complicate payment processing and fraud prevention, both areas in which we can provide tremendous help."

"We have developed a customized risk management solution for Federated that will be continually monitored by our fraud experts and adjusted as necessary to maximize our client's revenues while minimizing fraud. By relying on ReD's expertise, like so many other retailers for whom we also act, Federated can now concentrate fully on its core skills, namely servicing and growing their loyal customer base."

The Federated account comes on the back of other recent client wins for ReD that include The Finish Line, Inc., T-Mobile and Odimo, Inc. Other blue- chip ReD clients also include Walmart.com, Travelocity, GSI Commerce, RealNetworks and Register.com.
