Validate customer’s identity to reduce loss with ProtectBuy®
ProtectBuy is our Three Domain Secure (3DS) customer authentication solution that validates consumer identity at time of purchase and provides a real-time required action for high-risk transactions.
If a transaction is flagged, a one-time-use password is sent to the cardholder in near real-time—to help ensure the sale is not fraudulent while avoiding shopping cart abandonment.
More information is available upon request.
Benefits of 3DS security during a transaction
3DS creates a secure pipeline across the three parties, which validate a consumer’s identity. Benefits include:
Helps reduce fraud online
Verifies transactions with risk-based analytics to help stop fraud before it happens.
Provides peace of mind
Confirms the cardholder’s identity to help mitigate fraud and reduce chargebacks.
Gain business insights
Issuers gain greater visibility into cardholder activity to help spot consumer trends.
More secure, seamless checkout
Only prompts cardholders when there is a likelihood of fraud and may reduce shopping cart abandonment.
Simplified 3DS implementation for international issuers
Because liability shifts to issuers, international issuing partners have the option to purchase a packaged Access Control Server (ACS) and Risk Engine (an issuer requirement for 3DS) directly from Diners Club International® with significantly lower fees and effort.
