The Arcot Network for Merchants
Our network provides merchants with key capabilities to prevent eCommerce fraud and improve digital payment approval rates.
How We Solve
For Merchants
According to the MRC Global Fraud and Payments Report, 3.6% of eCommerce revenue is lost to payment fraud globally. More than two-thirds of card fraud losses come through the eCommerce channel and eCommerce transactions are nearly 4x more likely to be declined by the issuer than in-store transactions.

The Arcot Network provides a fully compliant EMV 3DS Server (3DSS) enabling merchants to maintain compliance with government regulations like PSD2 and card scheme requirements. Our low latency, high availability architecture means our system will be up and running for every transaction you send.

Lower Digital Payment Fraud
The Arcot Network gives merchants the tools to prevent fraud and improve their bottom line. Our rules engine, global data consortium, and fraud scoring capabilities enable merchants to identify fraud and push it out of the environment. -
Higher Approval Rates
The Arcot Network empowers merchants to reduce the friction of authentication during the shopping experience by maximizing exemptions and leveraging Delegated Authentication. Our consortium data and team of compliance and 3DS experts give merchants additional insights to achieve higher payment approval rates.
