What is the 3D Secure Payment System?
3D Secure is a secure online payment system developed by Visa and MasterCard to protect against online fraud. It verifies the cardholder’s identity through a three-step process:
- Enter your bank card details:
Provide the required information for your debit or credit card. - Authenticate your identity:
If 3D Secure is activated for your card, a verification window will appear. Your bank will send a single-use authentication code (via SMS) for you to confirm your identity.- Warning: After three failed authentication attempts, your transaction will be canceled, and your card may be temporarily blocked. If this occurs, contact your bank to resolve the issue.
- Complete your payment:
Once the correct code is entered and your payment is accepted, you will receive a confirmation email.
- Fraud Prevention and Monitoring:
Our payment system is equipped with real-time fraud detection tools to monitor and block any suspicious transactions. In case of doubt, we will contact you directly.
