How much time and effort do we all put into online security? Quite a lot I think. We strive to make everything secure. A new security measure is brought out every so often that we have to comply with. So when we told this by a popular aquiring bank a few moments ago, we were quite shocked:
''If you have a problem with your PSP, just wait for the customer to telephone saying they have a problem then write down their card details on a piece of paper to put through your physical terminal''.
1, the world of online shopping is basically automated so not every customer would ring you (PROBABLY 1 OUT OF 20) but just go to another shop.
2, Card numbers and paper are something we have all probably used and some still (for telephone orders) but for someone from the bank to tell you this is OK is plain ridiculous. Are we not paying these banks to provide a service. If we were to do as they say and write the numbers on a piece of paper and someone steals card details - we would be in serious trouble!
Is all the business of 3D secure etc etc not worth it if an bank is so blase with security?
