With Cardinal,
everybody wins.

Cardinal’s fast, secure payment authentication creates a rewarding shopping experience for all – starting with increased approvals and sales. How? Our safe, seamless approach brings together a deeper level of merchant, issuer and shopper data to reduce fraud and false declines. Why? When merchants sell more, shoppers buy more and issuers collect more. Everybody wins.

  • merchants
  • issuers

Thousands of merchants and issuers, authenticating billions of transactions a year, choose Cardinal. Why? Because we’re taking on fraud and false declines.

The final sunset of 1.0.2 for network extended countries is coming.

This November marks the end of 3DS 1.0 for all countries. When the sunset occurs, the Directory Server will no longer be able to support 3DS 1.0 transaction requests, and Cardinal will sunset 3DS 1.0 and all its features. If you received an extension, act now to ensure your transactions – and bottom line – are not affected.
