Compare Cardinal vs. Outseer 3-D Secure

Cardinal stands out as a premier authority in the realm of digital transaction authentication on a global scale. For more than twenty years, we have been uniting merchants, issuers, and consumers in a mutually beneficial experience. The swift and secure method of payment authentication that Cardinal offers enhances the shopping experience for everyone involved, resulting in greater approval rates and increased sales. Our secure and efficient approach leverages comprehensive data from merchants, issuers, and consumers to effectively minimize fraud and reduce instances of false declines. As merchants enhance their sales, consumers are encouraged to make more purchases, and issuers benefit from higher collections. Cardinal provides support for a wide range of payment networks, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover/Diners, JCB, UPI, and various regional networks like Cartes Bancaires and ELO, with plans to expand further in the future. Unlike traditional methods that process authentication steps one after the other, Cardinal employs a parallel processing technique, enabling the collection and analysis of data to commence even before the consumer finalizes their order. This innovative approach not only streamlines the authentication process but also contributes to a more enjoyable shopping experience for everyone involved.
