Digital commerce enabler Network International has formed an alliance with payments technology firm Mastercard to introduce a 3D Secure (3DS) 2 authentication tool for e-commerce merchants in the UAE.

The new solution, which is driven by Mastercard’s Smart Interface offering, will be available on Network’s proprietary payment gateway N-Genius Online.

Using the 3DS 2 tool, Network’s merchants will be able to minimise risk and safeguard their customers from issues like payments fraud.

Furthermore, 3DS 2 will provide consumers with a more consolidated, better payments options and enhanced support for modern devices.

This will improve checkout and bring down cases of cart abandonment, stated the firm.

A next generation 3-D Secure technology, 3DS 2 is capable of examining a wide range of major data points, such as the merchant’s contextual information.
