Arcot 2025 - Merchant 3D Secure Initiative - an offer to US, UK and Global Merchants

Protect Digital Payments

The Arcot Network is a payment authentication network powered by 3-D Secure (3DS).

The network is used by card issuers, merchants, and payment processors to authenticate the identity of a shopper during an e-commerce payment. Users of the network enjoy lower fraud, higher approval rates, and regulatory compliance.
