Confidently authenticate more legitimate transactions
Payment acquirers and processors can quickly and confidently verify more transactions by integrating Transaction Risk API into pre-authorization risk models.
Fast accurate payment authentication can raise growth potential and reduce fraud
What is payment authentication?
The payment authentication process validates the identity and legitimacy of a payment transaction. This ensures the person or business initiating the payment is the authorized account/card holder. Payment authentication can protect merchants from fraud and chargeback abuse.
Who needs payment authentication?
Anyone who wants to protect their business from the global payment fraud industry needs payment authentication; specifically, merchants seeking relief from chargebacks and payment acquirers and processors whose business is ensuring a safe and secure financial environment for their customers.
Why do you need to optimize payment authentication?
Optimize your payment authentication process by evaluating transaction risk in real-time before authorization takes place. This reduces friction for your good customers and maximizes conversion rates by assessing transaction risk earlier in the workflow through payment provider relationships.
