Data for today’s episode is provided by Mercator Advisory Group’s report – 2019 Annual U.S. Debit Market Data Review
What Percent of Credit & Debit Transactions Are 3-D Secure v2? and Why?
- Less than 1% of credit & debit transactions are 3-D Secure v2
- Even though CNP fraud and false positives cost billions of dollars in lost sales, merchants have been reluctant to adopt
- Merchants got burned by heavy cart abandonment with 3-D Secure version 1
- Merchants have since invested in other risk tools, making 3D Secure a new expense
- EMV migration was no picnic for merchants either, and 3-D Secure v2 is also from EMVCo
- 3-D Secure isn’t just a merchant tool – card issuers will have to revamp their fraud tools to incorporate – and not many have
About the Report
Debit cards turned in another year of very solid transaction growth in the U.S., albeit not quite as robust as the previous year, which may be reflective of an underlying weakening of consumer confidence. However, some new trends are likely to have a positive influence on the market, according to the report.
Mercator Advisory Group has released new research on the U.S. debit cards in the 2019 Annual U.S. Debit Market Data Review. Mercator Advisory Group’s fourth annual review of the market dynamics in the U.S. debit industry focuses on trends and events impacting the industry.
“This report is the fourth annual debit data review compiled by Mercator Advisory Group and new trends continue to influence this very mature payments product,” commented Sarah Grotta, Director, Debit and Alternative Products Advisory Service at Mercator Advisory Group and author of the report. “The most influential events include the anticipated consolidation of EFT debit networks as their large processor owners propose to merge, the beginning of contactless debit card issuance, the growing influence of debit push payments on network transactions and approaches to battle card-not-present fraud.”
