What is Payment Verification?
Payment verification is a crucial process that helps safeguard financial transactions from fraudulent activities. It involves the thorough examination and validation of payment information provided by users before authorizing a transaction. By confirming the legitimacy of payments, businesses can mitigate the risk of fraud, chargebacks, and unauthorized transactions, thereby ensuring a safe and trustworthy environment for both customers and merchants.
Here are some statistics about payment fraud:
- The 2023 AFP Payments Fraud and Control Survey reports that 65% of organizations were victims of payment fraud attacks/attempts in 2022.
- Payment fraud losses are projected to hit $49 billion by 2030, and payment fraud is expected to continue increasing.
- The global cost of online payment fraud is expected to reach $206 billion by 2025, up from $130 billion in 2020.
These statistics highlight the importance of payment verification in preventing fraud and protecting businesses and consumers from financial losses.
Common Types of Verification
Address Verification System (AVS): AVS cross-references the billing address provided during a transaction with the address on file with the card-issuing bank. Any discrepancies could raise a red flag for potential fraud.
Card Verification Value (CVV): The CVV is a three or four-digit code found on the back of credit and debit cards. It adds an extra layer of security as it is not stored in the magnetic stripe or chip and must be entered during online transactions.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): This method requires users to provide a secondary piece of information, such as a one-time code sent to their mobile device, in addition to their payment credentials.
How Does Payment Verification Differ from Payment Authentication?
While verification focuses on confirming the accuracy of the provided payment details, authorization is the step that seeks approval from the issuing bank to complete the transaction. Payment authentication, on the other hand, is a broader term that encompasses various methods, including verification, designed to prevent unauthorized access and ensure the security of transactions.
