Retail Decisions sounds alarm

Malcolm Withers12 April 2012

COMPANIES fighting for revival rather than battling fraud have prompted card fraud prevention group Retail Decisions to issue a profits warning. It said its main market in the US has been particularly hard hit, with a major telecoms customer - believed to be AT&T - reducing the price it paid for Retail Decisions' services and cutting the number of transactions.
