EMV 3-D Secure
What is EMV 3-D Secure?
EMV 3-D Secure is a global messaging protocol that provides an additional layer of security for online credit and debit card transactions. It allows for the exchange of data between the merchant, the card issuer, and the cardholder to verify the identity of the person making the purchase in real-time.
Why It Matters
-
It significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized transactions by requiring the cardholder to authenticate themselves with their bank.
-
Using 3-D Secure can shift the liability for fraudulent chargebacks from the merchant to the card issuer.
-
The latest version, 3DS 2.0, provides a much smoother user experience by supporting biometric authentication and reducing the need for static passwords.
