What is Verified by Visa and what does it protect against?

How companies can benefit from using Verified by Visa?

It should be noted that the VbV tool was developed by Visa company first of all for companies operating online. Today the transition to chip EMV cards is carried out all over the world, thanks to which it will be possible to increase the level of security of transactions carried out with the mandatory presentation of the card. Many experts have made a disappointing forecast that people will increasingly face fraud when calculating credit cards in e-commerce.

Even if these clients have purchased your goods all the time, they may be afraid to do so in the future, going to competitors. As a result, you will lose not only your customers but also your profit.
However, you can provide your customers with additional protection using Verified by Visa. Users will get a higher level of protection for online transactions, and you will get a number of important advantages:

• Significant growth of clients’ trust in your company
• No liability for fraudulent transactions (Visa will be responsible for such transactions)
• Getting rid of the problem of refundable payments. No, you won’t get rid of them completely, but there will be much fewer. After all, Visa will help you identify fraudulent operations even before the authorization process.
• Reducing the exchange fee
• Thanks to Verified by Visa, customers who were afraid of online credit card transactions can now be more confident in their security levels. All this will have a positive impact on the sales level.

In fact, when taking VbV, you should clearly understand that from now on your customers will have to go through one more additional step when placing an order. But will all customers want to do it? Probably not, which can have a negative impact on the failure rate growth.
How can you prevent potential customers from being lost? Some companies have already started implementing an improved 3D Secure solution. Thanks to the parameters of the PAAY API and a special plug-in module it is possible to increase the level of use of 3D Secure, at the same time not tiring customers to enter any access codes.
