the are 6  processes that happen here

  1. The payment gateway will request from your Bank the amount you entered in the begging of this transaction.
  2. The bank will authorize this amount and send you a OTP (one time PIN to your cell phone)
    Please note that the Cell Phone Number the bank has on record for your account will be issued the PIN.
  3. Check your SMS’s for the PIN number and enter it when required too.
  4. The bank will verify the PIN and identify you as being the card holder.
  5. A response is sent back to VCS with an approved or not approved result
    Please note Not-Approved can also mean that your account has not been setup for 3D Secure. If this is the case you can call you bank and have them enable the 3D secure on your account and card.
  6. If you transaction has been approved we will receive an immediate response from the bank as well as 3G Mobile that the transaction has been authorised.

Please Note That Funds can take a day to be transferred to our account and there may be a slight delay. 

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.
