What's 3DS?

3DS stands for 3D-Secure and it's a security protocol used by issuers to authenticate users when making Online Payments. Designed to prevent fraud and unauthorised transactions, 3DS presents the user with a prompt from their issuer requesting verification via either a mobile banking app or an online password request from the issuer (confirming using two-step verification).
