Anti-Fraud Solutions

Sophisticated risk management and Bulletproof data security

Security is probably one of the most significant concerns for both the shopper and the retailer during an online transaction. In reality an online transaction is probably more secure than a card transaction in a shop or conducted over the telephone or by fax, as the information transmitted online is highly encrypted using complicated logarithm combinations.

Deferred Payments (pre-authorisation)

In addition to the normal online credit/debit card checks, you may want to make offline checks against your shopper's credit/debit card. Deferred payment (or pre-authorisation) gives you the time to make such checks.

The shopper enters their card details as normal, the online checks are made, and funds are reserved for payment against the shopper's card. However, the payment is not completed at the time, but deferred, allowing you to make additional offline checks against the card. If you are satisfied with the results of those additional checks, you complete (or post-authorise) the transaction. The shopper is now debited, and remittance (the funds that are made over to you) is made to your account.

If you want to support both standard authorisation and pre-authorisation on your web site, we will need to set you up with two remittance accounts. You can manage pre-auth transactions through to post-authorisation on the Customer Management System (CMS)

Note: Pre-authorised transactions are effective only for five working days and, if not post-authorised, will lapse after this period. This means that the shopper's card will not be debited and you will not receive remittance of funds.

This service is provided at no extra cost
