The 3D Secure Security Procedure
3D SecureTM is a security standard developed for credit card payments online that complies with the new legal requirements.
Condor complies with the new legal requirements and has enabled strong customer authentication on all of its own payment transactions. Strong customer authentication is a requirement of the Second EU Payment Services Directive (PSD2) for payment service providers in the European Economic Area (EEA) and/or credit and debit cards issued in the EEA. Online payments must be confirmed by at least two factors.
The procedure offers optimal protection against card misuse online and is designed to reduce the risk of fraud through identity fraud when paying online.
Depending on the credit card provider, this process has its own name:
- Mastercard: “Mastercard Identity Check”
- VISA: “Visa Secure”
- American Express: “Safekey”
- JCB: “J/Secure”
- Diners and Discover: “ProtectBuy”
Secure payment is quick and easy in three steps:
- Book your flight and enter your credit card information.
- If 3D Secure authentication is required for your online transaction, the security procedure used by your bank for 3D Secure will be carried out after you enter your credit card details, e.g. by asking you for your password or PIN/mTAN.
- If all the details are correct, the bank will confirm that you are the authorised cardholder and the payment process can continue.
Please note that Condor will never ask you to send your bank details by email. This data is entered exclusively on the payment page of our websites and/or through your bank's authentication procedure.
If 3D Secure authentication with your card is required by your bank and you are using it for the first time, you must register first with your bank.
You can find more information about 3D Secure on your bank’s website.
