What is 3D Secure Authentication At Checkout?
3D
Secure is an additional layer of security to make online shopping transactions
safer, by authenticating your identity at the time of purchase. It’s
provided by Visa as 'Verified by Visa', and by Mastercard as 'Mastercard
SecureCode'.
3D Secure adds an additional step to the authentication of online payments. In order to complete a transaction using a credit or debit card, you may be asked to provide additional proof of identity, such as a password or other information known only to you. Control over what details are needed to verify the cardholder sits with the issuing bank for the card used.
Failed authentications
In some cases, a legitimate order may fail authorisation during the payment process, or you may back out of the transaction without completing it which will result in a failed authentication. In this case, you should contact the bank that issued their card. This is because 3D Secure is taken as proof the true cardholder made the transaction, and therefore the risk for fraud ordinarily falls back to the card issuing bank.
