Secure from rack to recipient
We protect the card’s value at every stage. Sensitive information remains locked in our secure data hub until authenticated at the point of sale.
1: Scan the card
The customer scans the card using their smartphone, triggering a secure request to the FraudBloQR data hub.
2: Identity verified
The data hub instantly authenticates the card's unique credentials, confirming it is genuine and untampered.
3: Purchase authorised
Secure communication is sent to the card processor, releasing the card's value only at the point of sale.
4: Gift delivered
The recipient receives a fully loaded, verified card and can check their balance at any time by scanning the card.
The industry is suffering
Gift card draining is a growing fraud where criminals steal personal data from store racks, silently emptying cards before victims ever use them.
Rising vulnerability
For years, bad actors have used "draining" techniques to steal activation and redemption codes directly from cards sitting on store racks.
Escalating fallout
Losses in North America have hit $212 million, likely into the billions, and reputational damage far outweighs the financial hit.
Zero data, zero opportunity for fraud
Our solution uses bank-grade data security and proprietary physical authentication to protect gift cards at every stage, with no disruption to existing retail infrastructure.
Comprehensive security
Sensitive information is removed from physical cards and stored in a secure, bank-grade data hub until the moment of purchase. Additionally, proprietary labels use multiple security elements - technologies found in banknotes and ID documents -to ensure proof of possession.
Seamless integration
Our solution operates entirely on existing retail rails. By working with your current systems, it guarantees zero disruption to Point of Sale (POS) hardware, staff workflows, or established retail processes, making deployment effortless. If however, the retailer POS system currently supports 2D cameras or RFID, a customer journey is available where the sales assistant can Scan or Tap the card for activation.
