With the surging adoption of digital payments, technology is evolving to safeguard operations on digital payment platforms. As an added layer of fraud protection for online transactions executed via credit or debit cards, 3-D Secure 2.0 is pivotal. By leveraging a wealth of contextual data, it identifies and prevents fraudulent activity. It forms an authentication pathway linking online merchants, payment networks, and financial institutions, facilitating easier sharing and analysis of purchase authenticity intelligence among them. Key players are concentrating on delivering 3-D Secure 2.0 payment security to their customers to solidify their market footprint and enhance their offerings. For instance, in February 2023, India's leading online payments solution provider, PayU, introduced its 3D Secure 2.0 SDK authentication service. This upgrade enriches PayU's tokenization abilities and bolsters online payment security for merchants and customers alike. Providing a unique identifier for each card, the 3DS 2.0 SDK authentication service boasts higher security than storing the actual card number. Moreover, it allows merchants to safely handle card numbers with minimal development effort while refining the payment experience for their consumers.
