Data-driven authentication with 3D Secure 2
Adding 3D Secure 2 can help ensure a secure checkout for your customer, protect your business against fraudulent transactions, and keep your transactions compliant with strong customer authentication (SCA) requirements.
The next-generation authentication solution
3D Secure 2 (3DS2) is the new industry standard for customer authentication and is a recognized solution for meeting PSD2’s Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) requirements. ReThink Pay 3DS2 solution is easy to integrate and provides a simple way to authenticate eligible card transactions with a low-friction checkout experience for cardholders.
KEY ENHANCEMENTS TO 3DS2
Provides a more seamless mobile experience with native SDKs for both Android and iOS
Offers better, more secure methods to replace static passwords in the rare event of a challenge
Uses device and browser data for more accurate risk assessments that typically happen behind the scenes rather than requiring cardholder involvement
Helps meet SCA requirements for biometrics and two-factor authentication (2FA)
Shift chargeback liability
For eligible cards, 3DS2 can move liability for chargebacks due to fraud from the merchant to the card issuer.
Take advantage of exemptions
ReThink Pay solution supports exemptions that will be available under SCA requirements, so your customers can experience the least possible amount of friction on applicable transactions
Lift authorization rates
Data shows that issuers may approve more transactions when using 3DS2 (vs. 3DS1).
Keep your transactions SCA-compliant
With built in support for both 3D Secure 1 and 2 authentication protocols, ReThink Pay Paycan help ensure your transactions meet SCA requirements.
