3D Secure Integration

Card scheme 3DS Enrolment

All card schemes may have unique merchant onboarding requirements for 3D Secure. This page outlines what we are aware are the current requirements of the card schemes we support through Ravelin 3DS.

We strongly recommend that all Ravelin customers speak to their acquirer(s) or the card schemes directly, to understand what may be required. We have provided some guidance here based on what we currently understand for each card scheme we are certified with.

American Express

American Express encourages merchants to speak to their acquirer(s) to ensure that authentication data can be passed in the authorisation and other payment related messages. They also have the following acquirer responsibilities for merchant enrolment:

  • Merchant agreements have been modified to reflect a merchant’s participation in SafeKey.
  • Merchants adhere to SafeKey branding guidelines.
  • A single acquirer merchant ID is in use, unless there is a prior agreement with American Express regarding usage of a Master Merchant Number.
