What is 3D secure?
MasterCard/Visa – 3DSecure
3DSecure is a security protocol implemented by MasterCard/Visa International. The principle behind 3D Secure is that the system should authenticate the cardholder and therefore offer protection to the banks customers and their merchants.
3DSecure is a bank requirement for all eCommerce merchants and the bank registers the merchants with MasterCard/Visa International.
3DSecure is only active for card issued by MasterCard and Visa members. There are exclusions eg: business cards and private label cards. We have no indication as to when Amex and Diners will come on board.
Bank Security Information (what the bank will do)
The bank carries out their own security checks on transactions presented for authorisation and settlement. These include checks for lost cards, stolen cards, attempted fraud, hot cards etc. The verification, authorisation and settlement is handled between the merchants bank and the cardholders bank (and not by VCS).
Please note at no time does 3G Mobile have access to your credit card details. We simply receive an approved or not -approved response from VCS.
