Mike Re, Chief Information Officer at SAA, said, "One of the reasons we have chosen to implement this leading fraud prevention technology is to provide peace of mind to our loyal customers when they make reservations online. We would like our customers to know that we are taking a proactive approach in combating credit card fraud."

CyberSource's Decision Manager portal provides access to over 150 global validation tests and services, all of which will be managed by SAA through a sophisticated but easy-to-use rules console. The system, equipped with business rules set by the airline, assesses transactions in seconds with a recommendation to accept, reject or mark for further review, minimizing the need for human intervention.

As part of the Performance Monitoring service, CyberSource experts design and configure order screening strategies and processes in conjunction with South African Airlines' experts. After the implementation of Decision Manager, CyberSource fraud analysts monitor business performance and work with SAA to fine-tune rules, systems, and processes for optimum results.

Simon Stokes, Managing Director at CyberSource Ltd., said, "From our commissioned research, we know airlines worldwide lost over $1.4 billion to online fraudsters in 2008. By working with CyberSource, SAA will be able to adopt a more automated, holistic approach to fraud management to address this expensive threat."

About South African Airlines

SAA celebrates its 75th Anniversary in 2009 and is one of the oldest airlines in the world. The airline was founded on 1 February 1934 after the South African government took over the assets and liabilities of Union Airways, which up until then operated as an air mail service. It was named South African Airways and fell under the administration of the South African Railways and Harbours.

SAA is one of the leading carriers in Africa offering over 20 destinations across the continent, as well as major destinations within South Africa, including its hub, Johannesburg. It is a member of the largest and most recognised international airline network, Star Alliance, and through this is able to offer its passengers a service beyond its own direct operations as well as numerous benefits to customers.

SAA operates one of the most technologically advanced aircraft fleets in the world and offers an exclusive and highly rated product. SAA's priority is to ensure the safety of its passengers and crew and therefore places immense focus on maintenance of its aircraft.
