How to Use Verified by Visa 3D Secure Fraud Prevention

What is Verified by Visa ? Verified by Visa (or VbV) is an advanced anti-fraud tool Visa offers to businesses. Similar to Mastercard SecureCode, it requires an additional level of verification in the form of a passcode to prove only valid cardholders make purchases.

VBV = Verified by Visa , rebranded Visa Secure in 2019; both names refer to Visa's 3D Secure cardholder-authentication program. 3D Secure 2 (3DS2) reviews 100+ data points in real time, so roughly 95% of payments clear frictionlessly and only ~5% face a step-up challenge (OTP, biometrics, or banking-app approval).
