Business / Merchant services / EMV 3DS

Frictionless payment experience. Fighting fraud.

More security checks. Reduction in fraud.

Recognises and verifies your customer by checking up to 10x more data points protecting against potentially fraudulent transactions.

Faster check out. Less cart abandonment.

Quicker payment authentication delivers a faster checkout experience for your customers. And less shopping cart abandonment as a result.

Fewer chargebacks.

As a result of additional security checks, you are better protected against “I didn’t pay for that” disputes, reducing the risk of processing fraudulent payments and likelihood of chargebacks.

How it works

  1. Cardholder pays using their credit card
  2. Your EMV 3DS service provider packages up and sends the transaction data to the Issuer via the authentication request
  3. The Issuers EMV 3DS service provider determines the transactions risk
  4. Issuer may prompt the cardholder to verify their ID e.g. with a one-time password, biometric authentication etc
  5. Upon successful authentication, your payment gateway submits the transaction for processing
