MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Leading private equity firms BC Partners and Medina Capital today announced an agreement to acquire Easy Solutions, the Total Fraud Protection® company. The announcement comes as part of a new joint venture, combining a global portfolio of 57 data centers and associated colocation business to be acquired from CenturyLink, along with the acquisition of Medina Capital’s security, compliance and data analytics portfolio.
Easy Solutions offers a Total Fraud Protection platform that has received numerous industry and analyst accolades. The company’s product portfolio delivers cross-channel fraud protection across transactions performed on online and mobile platforms, as well as via ATMs, Point-of-Sale terminals, and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems for enterprise organizations across a range of industries, including financial services, retail, and professional services. Easy Solutions thwarts criminals at all three phases of the fraud lifecycle - planning, launching, and cashing – while ensuring that authorized users can conduct business.
“As global fraud schemes become more sophisticated, organizations are looking for ways to apply big data analytics capabilities to their fraud detection and response strategies,” said Ricardo Villadiego, CEO of Easy Solutions. “This new venture combines our leadership in fraud protection with the analytics and security capabilities of our portfolio colleagues, and provides access to over 3,500 existing customers, allowing us to provide an enhanced set of services on a global scale.”
