The EMV® 3DS Specification is in various stages of deployment around the world. The most recent specification was designed to reduce the friction in the checkout by increasing the data required in the authorization process.

Come listen to our panel of experts talk about the current implementations from the view of a merchant, network, acquirer and specification body.

The payment world continues to evolve, and it is important for merchants to have their voices heard in the industry. It is equally important for merchants to participate in forums which allow them to share experiences and learn from each other on how to improve the payment experience. Our roundtable is designed for just that - an opportunity in a no-pressure environment for an open and honest chat with your peers about what keeps you up at night. Share your frustration with the current state of the payment ecosystem and collectively share with other merchants on where you feel improvements need to be made.

This is a merchant only session so merchants can feel comfortable to share and learn from each other in an open dialogue.
