Online card acceptance:
With its Virtual POS (Point of Sale) service, UniCredit Bank offers its partners operating online stores a modern, secure and fast solution for processing bank card payments. In the case of online bank card payments, the virtual POS practically replaces the POS terminals used in stores in online stores.
UniCredit Bank provides its partners with the most widespread, most modern and at the same time the most secure virtual card acceptance technology in the world. Each participant in the transaction can only obtain information that is relevant to them, so security is fundamentally based on the separation of data. Using the system results in the fact that data related to the customer, purchase, product and service can only be obtained by the merchant, while bank card data can only be received by UniCredit Bank. After the transaction is authorized, the merchant only receives a notification whether the purchase was successful or unsuccessful; it does not receive information about the data content of the website processing the payment.
Using the virtual POS service has the following advantages. It automatically checks whether the bank card offered for acceptance is not on the blacklist. It checks the bank card number and its expiration date. It automatically requests permission from the UniCredit Bank authorization center for each transaction, thanks to which it always checks whether the account behind the bank card offered for payment has sufficient funds. It automatically settles with the bank card issuing financial institutions electronically (at midnight), but for this, the closing of the business day must automatically take place in the merchant's web store. It minimizes the risk of bank card fraud by continuously monitoring bank cards and individual transactions 3D Secure – Guarantee of secure acceptance The UniCredit Bank Virtual POS service uses the so-called 3D Secure security solution, which was developed by the international card companies Mastercard and Visa. 3D Secure provides maximum security, which can be easily identified by the Mastercard SecureCode and Verified by Visa logos. In the case of a 3D Secure transaction, the buyer provides their unique identification code to be used for online purchases, and in the case of these transactions, the Virtual POS contacts the card-issuing bank directly to request authorization.
However, the 3D Secure solution also offers numerous advantages for the merchant, as it: improves customer trust in online stores;reduces the possibility of online fraud;and the issuing bank assumes responsibility for any transactions that may be disputed by the cardholder, the risk is not transferred to the merchant.In order to ensure uninterrupted and high-quality merchant activity, UniCredit Bank operates a 24-hour technical customer service on the phone number +36 1 577 1771, which provides all assistance in the event that a technical problem arises in connection with online bank card acceptance.
