Enable a fast and smooth scheme onboarding

With the schemes’ mandates for EMV® 3DS, an increasing number of merchants and payment service providers are going live with new 3-D Secure solutions. The quality of their 3-D Secure implementation is especially crucial for the merchants striving to optimize the user experience for the consumer.

Merchants, PSPs and acquirers using the G+D Netcetera Quality Assurance Platform can onboard a scheme's latest EMV® 3-D Secure 2.x Directory Server regardless of ACS provider readiness.

Card issuers using the G+D Netcetera Quality Assurance Platform can start testing their integration on a scheme's latest EMV 3-D Secure 2.x Directory Server independently from merchants', acquirers' and PSPs' readiness.

G+D Netcetera offers an entire test suite (3-D Secure Access Control Server, 3-D Secure Directory Server, 3-D Secure Server/SDK) supporting card issuers as well as merchants and payment service providers to ensure the quality of 3-D Secure and to enable a fast and smooth onboarding.
