First Data Independent Sales - Credit Card Processing
Verified by Visa® and MasterCard® SecureCode
 

 

 

 

Ever worry that the customers ordering from your Web site aren't really who they say they are? You can't see them,you can't see or imprint their card,and you can't verify the signature. What if the card number is stolen or fraudulent? Will your online revenue be lowered by cardholder disputes and chargebacks? With LinkPoint e-commerce payment services, there is now a solution to help you feel more confident when accepting online credit card payments: Verified by Visa® and MasterCard® SecureCode.

 

What are Verified by Visa® and MasterCard® SecureCode?

These services help to prove that the person placing an order on your Web site is really the owner of that card.Similar to the ATM process,a cardholder signs up for a PIN number or password with their credit card issuer.If your online store has the Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode option integrated, the PIN number is requested when the card is used for online purchases. When the card is forwarded for authorization, the issuer of the card confirms the cardholder is the owner of the card and produces a virtual signature.The benefits of these services are clear-chargeback protection for the merchant and fraud protection for the consumer.

How does it work?
  1. At the point of sale,the consumer is prompted for the password.
  2. The password is confirmed by the Issuing bank.
  3. If successful information is submitted with the transaction. If not successful, the transaction cannot be submitted for authorization.
