3D Secure 2
Customer authentication to reduce fraud
Having the right authentication solution for your business ultimately means improving your authorisation rates and reducing your fraud exposure, all while providing a great customer experience.
3D Secure 2
3DS2 is the latest version, but with some key differences, including: being mobile optimised, offering exemptions for certain transactions types and removing the need to redirect customers (which has previously caused an increase in basket abandonment).
SCA is a legal requirement in the EU, which came into force in the UK and EU from 31 December 2020 and in the UK from 14 March 2022. As consumers continue to buy more goods and services online, there's been a growing need for an additional layer of security that protects both the consumer and merchant from falling victim to fraud. This new regulation ensures that an additional security layer is added to most online payment flows.
