Add a data-driven, frictionless authentication solution to your checkout that can help ensure security for your customers and help protect your business against fraudulent transactions.
3D Secure 2.0 (3DS 2.0) is the new industry standard for customer authentication and is a recognized solution for meeting PSD2’s Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) requirements. Braintree’s 3DS 2.0 solution is easy to integrate and provides a simple way to authenticate eligible card transactions with a low-friction checkout experience for cardholders.
Key enhancements to 3DS 2.0
Provides a more seamless mobile experience with native SDKs for both Android and iOS
Uses device and browser data for more accurate risk assessments that typically happen behind the scenes rather than requiring cardholder involvement
Offers better, more secure methods to replace static passwords in the rare event of a challenge
Helps meet SCA requirements for biometrics and two-factor authentication (2FA)
For eligible cards, 3DS 2.0 can move liability for chargebacks due to fraud from the merchant to the card issuer.
Data shows that issuers may approve more transactions when using 3DS 2.0 (vs. 3DS 1.0).
