Secure your company's bookings, reduce fraud, and maintain global trust with PCI 3DS solutions built for the travel industry. Protect every payment, from web to mobile.
The travel industry faces a perfect storm of fraud risk: high ticket transactions, last minute bookings, and global customers using unfamiliar cards. Airlines, OTAs, and travel platforms are prime targets for fraud, often absorbing the cost of chargebacks and lost revenue.
PCI 3DS strengthens authentication for digital payments without disrupting legitimate bookings. Whether your customers are reserving flights, hotels, or packaged trips, 3DS helps validate cardholders in real time, reducing fraud while maintaining booking speed and customer experience.
At Fortytwo Security, we help travel businesses implement PCI 3DS in ways that respect your booking flows, loyalty programs, and regional payment complexities. From low cost carriers to global aggregators, we assess your setup and guide you through 3DS adoption with minimal disruption and maximum compliance.
Reducing Booking Fraud
Fraudsters target airline and travel platforms due to high ticket values. PCI 3DS adds a layer of authentication that helps detect and block suspicious activity before it results in costly chargebacks.
Meeting Global Payment Regulations
Regions like the EU enforce Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) under PSD2. PCI 3DS ensures your business meets these evolving regulatory demands, keeping payments compliant and uninterrupted.
Protecting Airline Loyalty Programs
Fraudulent access to loyalty accounts and travel credits is on the rise. PCI 3DS helps authenticate account holders, reducing abuse of stored cards, miles, and frequent flyer benefits.
Preventing Booking Abandonment
Traditional fraud checks can slow down bookings. PCI 3DS 2.x supports frictionless flows for trusted users, allowing conversions to remain high while filtering out risk with minimal disruption.
Securing Mobile and App Based Sales
With more bookings shifting to mobile apps, PCI 3DS allows cardholder authentication to stay strong and seamless across devices, this supports native and in-app checkout experiences.
Reducing Operational Losses
Disputed transactions drain revenue and support resources. By validating users up front, PCI 3DS reduces fraudulent disputes and helps airlines and OTAs retain more legitimate revenue.
Whether you operate domestic routes or global networks, we help airlines implement PCI 3DS to secure online ticket sales, mobile bookings, and frequent flyer account transactions.
OTAs face complex payment flows across vendors, currencies, and booking systems. We manage PCI 3DS deployment to ensure security and continuity across all touchpoints in your travel stack.
Price comparison platforms often redirect users to third parties or enable direct booking. We help ensure your role in the transaction chain supports PCI 3DS authentication where needed.
Aggregators managing multiple suppliers and booking APIs must protect every leg of the transaction. We support PCI 3DS integration that respects your platform architecture and speed.
Travel companies that ignore PCI 3DS risk more than just chargebacks. Fraudulent bookings can lead to financial losses, blocked transactions, and disruption across global payment channels. Issuers may start declining non-authenticated payments, hurting conversion and customer experience in key markets.
The reputational impact is equally serious. Customers expect secure, smooth travel bookings and of course, partners expect compliance. A PCI 3DS failure can damage your standing with acquirers, suppliers, and travelers. At Fortytwo Security, we help you stay ahead of the curve, allowing your bookings to remain secure, compliant, and trusted worldwide.
