■What is EMV 3-D Secure (3D Secure 2.0)?3-D Secure is a system that enhances security by preventing unauthorized third parties from using credit cards during online transactions. When making a payment with a credit card registered with 3-D Secure, in addition to entering your card information, you will be prompted to authenticate your identity with a one-time password or another method.
-
■How 3-D Secure WorksWhen you select a credit card as your payment method and proceed with the transaction, your card issuer assesses the risk level of the payment. If your transaction is deemed high risk, the card issuer displays an authentication screen.
You will be required to verify your identity on this screen by, for example, entering a one-time password or using fingerprint authentication. Once you successfully complete verification, your payment will be processed. -
■Please note:* You must register with your credit card company to use 3-D Secure. For questions regarding 3-D Secure, please contact your card issuer.
* Credit cards that do not support 3-D Secure cannot be used for payments on our site.
* The authentication methods and screen layout will vary depending on your card issuer. Please consult your card issuer for details.
* Even after you successfully authenticate, your transaction may still be declined due to your card's status. In such cases, please consider using an alternative payment method. -
■Schedule for Implementation of 3-D SecureMid-March 2025 (schedule subject to change).
