“Working with NoFraud over the past few years has completely changed how we operate. What used to be a constant scramble to chase down fraud and chargebacks is now fully automated. It’s taken so much weight off our operations and customer support teams.”

Ahna Tillmanns, Director of Compliance at Monday Swimwear

The Company

Monday Swimwear is a luxury swim and lifestyle brand founded by entrepreneurs and influencers Natasha Oakley and Devin Brugman. Known for timeless silhouettes, inclusive fits, and premium craftsmanship, the brand has built a global following with a commitment to quality, confidence, and authenticity.

With a lean internal team and a growing customer base across international markets, Monday Swimwear’s operations needed to maintain a seamless customer experience while scaling responsibly and safeguarding the brand from ecommerce risk.

As order volumes scaled, so did the complexity of fraud and chargeback disputes — posing a major challenge for a small team dedicated to keeping customers happy while protecting revenue.

Operational Challenges Before NoFraud

1. Manual Chargeback Management

As Ahna recalls: “It was just me and one customer service representative trying to figure everything out. When a chargeback came in, we had to research what it even meant, how the process worked, and how to respond. There was so much Googling and guesswork.”

Without a dedicated fraud solution, the team manually gathered evidence, contacted banks, and tracked cases individually — often without understanding the nuances of each issuer’s process. This reactive approach left them exposed to financial losses and consumed valuable hours each week that they couldn’t afford to lose.

2. Returns Abuse, Unauthorized Resellers, and More: Evolving Threats and Limited Visibility

Fraudulent orders and returns abuse quickly became a recurring issue. The team found themselves investigating suspicious claims, manually reviewing transactions, and even chasing down fraudulent customers on social media. “We’d see customers wearing the swimsuits they claimed they never received,” Ahna shared. “But how do you even approach that conversation? It was frustrating and time-consuming.” 

As Monday Swimwear expanded, the lack of an automated fraud prevention system became an operational bottleneck, slowing fulfillment and adding unnecessary friction to the customer experience.

The rise of gift card fraud, returns abuse, and other sophisticated schemes introduced new challenges that were nearly impossible for a small team to keep up with. Without centralized reporting or analytics, Ahna’s team lacked visibility into fraud trends and couldn’t easily identify repeat offenders. “Every new fraud trend felt like a new fire drill. We were constantly reacting instead of preventing.”

Why Monday Swimwear Chose NoFraud

Ahna and her team sought a solution that would eliminate the manual burden of reviewing fraud cases and reduce the influx of support tickets tied to disputed or delayed orders. NoFraud stood out for its combination of automation, accuracy, and expertise.

Specialized Fraud Expertise and Seamless Integration

“We chose NoFraud because it was one less thing to think about. The expertise was clear from the start, and it made no sense for us to chase something we didn’t fully understand when NoFraud specialized in it.” NoFraud integrated directly into Monday Swimwear’s checkout process, instantly screening transactions in real time while maintaining a frictionless experience for legitimate customers.

A Better Customer Experience

For Monday Swimwear, better fraud prevention wasn’t just about stopping losses . It was about protecting great customers. Before NoFraud, legitimate buyers were sometimes inconvenienced by manual reviews, delays, or verification emails driven by rigid fraud filters.

By shifting to intent-based screening and human-backed decisioning, Monday Swimwear was able to approve more good orders instantly, reduce confusion around delayed shipments, and remove unnecessary friction from the buying process.

Automation That Adapts to New Threats

As the fraud landscape evolved, NoFraud’s systems adapted in real time to detect and prevent new types of abuse — from returns abuse to gift card exploitation. “It’s been amazing to see how NoFraud has evolved alongside us,” Ahna noted. “The dashboard, the automation, the ability to catch things we’d never even think to look for. It’s made everything so much easier.”

End-to-End Chargeback Protection

By offloading chargeback management to NoFraud, the team no longer needed to collect documentation or respond to disputes manually. NoFraud’s dedicated chargeback specialists handled the entire process — from detection to representation — ensuring every case was addressed efficiently and consistently.

A Multi-Year Commitment Driven by Measurable Results

Since partnering with NoFraud, Monday Swimwear has achieved measurable gains in efficiency and revenue protection. The impact was so significant that Monday Swimwear’s success with NoFraud led them to sign a multi-year renewal, solidifying NoFraud as a long-term operational partner.

This commitment underscores the brand’s trust in NoFraud’s ability to adapt in real time to new fraud tactics, keeping their business protected as threats evolve.

3.6% Revenue Lift Through Smarter Approvals

By confidently approving more legitimate transactions that might have previously been flagged or declined, Monday Swimwear unlocked new revenue opportunities without adding risk. NoFraud’s precise decisioning ensured that real customers experienced smooth, uninterrupted checkouts, even during peak sales seasons.

92% Reduction in Chargebacks

With NoFraud proactively detecting and blocking fraudulent transactions, chargebacks have dropped by 92%, creating immediate savings and long-term operational relief. The chargeback management service has not only reduced losses but also provided actionable insights to strengthen internal policies and improve prevention strategies.

224+ Hours Saved per Year

With NoFraud handling reviews and chargebacks, Ahna and her small team have reclaimed significant time each year that was previously spent chasing fraud evidence or responding to disputes. “It’s completely revolutionized how we spend our time,” Ahna said. “We’re no longer hunting down fake claims or trying to understand every bank’s system. We can finally focus on creating great products and serving our customers.”

“5 stars across the board! We switched to NoFraud a year ago and not only did my approval rate increase drastically but pricing was also a lot more competitive. The integration is seamless and literally worked out of the box with zero changes to our current workflow.”

“NoFraud has been absolutely amazing. Before NoFraud, we were suffering from a barrage of fraud attempts, which resulted in tens of thousands of dollars of chargebacks. Once you install this app, fraudsters will give up hope. I think it’s a no-brainer.”
Wine Chateau Marketplace
“Implementing NoFraud has vastly improved our business operations, not only by significantly reducing chargebacks and false positives, but by turning our inefficient fraud prevention process into a simple pass/fail decision that saves us loads of time and stress.”

“This is some of the best money we have ever spent. Integrating the app was quick and smooth, the support is fantastic and far superior to the service offered by some of their competitors. Our fraudulent orders have dropped by almost 60% since integrating NoFraud as compared to Signifyd and all orders that are charged-back are quickly reimbursed.”

“Normally not one to write reviews but absolutely must applaud NoFraud. I switched over from a big name competitor that dropped the ball huge on support. I’ve had no such issues with NoFraud — their support agents has been super responsive. The sales folks answered my every detailed question — even digging into API documentation. Their onboarding team was top notch. I was up and running super quick! Very happy.”

“The NoFraud app is really easy to install and set up. NoFraud’s analysis has been much more effective than the standard default Shopify fraud analysis. It catches fraud missed by Shopify and passes orders that Shopify said were high risk. Best part is, you can contact NoFraud and speak with someone.”

The peace of mind we get from knowing that they are handling the fraud check process is invaluable. NoFraud’s system consistently delivers accurate order ratings and recommendations.”

“NoFraud has been fantastic. We switched from Signifyd and haven’t looked back. Better rates, vastly simpler customer service, easier touch points for service/help, chargeback protection and filing on our behalf (this was huge — of the few chargebacks we’ve gotten, NoFraud takes care of them and we’re good to go!). Super fast verifications (if/when needed). Great staff. All in all, definitely recommend going with this app!”
Monoprice
“NoFraud’s ability to extend internationally is great since we have no experience or knowledge in international sales. Without NoFraud, we’d have to learn everything there is to know about fraud detection in another market.”
“When I did a chargeback audit over the last 5 years before NoFraud, I saw that had I been a NoFraud customer for 10 years, I could’ve bought a boat with all the savings.”
