The benefits of 3D Secure (3DS)

3DS makes e-commerce more secure by requiring cardholders to complete an additional verification step with the card issuer at the time of payment. By enabling 3DS, card issuers can meet the requirements of Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) under PSD2.

Own the authentication experience

Authenticate cardholders in a way that is right for your business, such as using your own mobile app

Reduce cardholder drop-off

Leverage frictionless flow so you don’t have to require extra verification from cardholders on every transaction

Minimise additional integration and cost

Authenticate cardholders and authorise transactions on one unified platform without having to manage multiple vendors
