3.1 Card networks

Visa

The card networks of Visa are known as VisaNet, V Pay and Visa Electron.

VisaNet, as one of the world's largest electronic payment networks, is dedicated to Visa's objective of offering the greatest method for consumers, businesses, and governments to pay and be paid.

V PAY card is a Visa payment card, European and ultra secure (chip, and without magnetic stripe). V Pay is a Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) debit card for use in Europe, issued by Visa Europe. It uses the EMV chip and PIN system and may be co-branded with various national debit card schemes. It allows consumers to pay and withdraw money in 36 European countries, anywhere the V PAY logo is displayed.

The overdraft protection is provided by Visa Electron card. Each transaction is subject to an authorisation request, which ensures that consumers do not go over their account's available amount. Visa Electron reassures and assists consumers in keeping track of their purchases. Visa Electron is a debit card that operates on the Visa payment network. With the exception of Canada, Australia, Argentina, Ireland, and the United States, it is offered by issuing banks in every country.

MasterCard

The card networks of MasterCard are known as MasterCard, Maestro.

MasterCard is the second-largest payments network, ranked behind Visa, in the global payments industry. MasterCard's core network, which it refers to as its own global payments network, is used to conduct payment transactions that typically involve a MasterCard account holder and a merchant, as well as their respective financial institutions. Credit, debit, and prepaid cards with this brand are accepted for payment.

Maestro is a Mastercard debit card brand. Maestro cards can be used to make in-store purchases as well as withdraw money from ATMs. Depending on the bank, most Maestro cards also allow online payments.

Because both Maestro debit cards and MasterCards are issued by MasterCard, it's simple to mix them up. The main distinction is that Maestro is only available as a debit card, whereas MasterCards are available as debit, credit, or prepaid cards.

3.2 How does the Visa MasterCard payment gateway capture information?

When it comes to credit/debit card payment, customers are required to provide their card details on the checkout platform or Visa MasterCard payment gateway interface, namely:

• Full name cardholder in capital letters
• Card number (16 digits)
• Expiry date (mm/yy)
• Visual security code (or security code, referred to as CVV for Visa and CVC for MasterCard)
• If the cardholder's card and your merchant ID are enrolled in 3-D Secure, the customer will be required to enter a dynamic one-time use code, usually received on their mobile phone.

3.4 3D-Secure

The 3-D Secure program was designed by the Visa and MasterCard networks to ensure cardholder authentication during online payments in order to reduce fraud.

The terms "Verified By Visa" and "MasterCard SecureCode" are used by the Visa and MasterCard networks to refer to the 3-D Secure program. The cardholder must authenticate the payment transaction if you are a member of the 3-D Secure program.

3.5 Address Verification System

Visa MasterCard payment processors offer an address verification service (AVS) that allows retailers to verify ownership of a credit or debit card used by a client.

In a credit/debit card-not-present transaction, AVS is performed as part of the merchant's authorisation request. The credit card company or issuing bank immediately compares the billing address provided by the consumer to the billing address in its records and reports back to the merchant, who has the last say on whether or not to proceed with the transaction. AVS can be used in conjunction with other credit card security measures, such as the CVV2 number.

AVS is available in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, among other nations. AVS normally verifies only the numeric sections of a cardholder's billing address, resulting in some inconsistencies such as apartment numbers, which might generate false declines.
