New Delhi, Feb 17 (NationPress) The prominent fintech company PhonePe revealed on Monday its new device tokenization solution aimed at enhancing the security of credit and debit card transactions.
With this innovation, users will have the ability to tokenize their cards directly on the PhonePe App. This will allow them to utilize card tokens effortlessly across various functions on the PhonePe platform, including bill payments, recharges, travel ticket bookings, insurance purchases, payments on Pincode, and at online merchants integrated with the PhonePe Payment Gateway.
“This initiative marks significant progress in our mission to make digital transactions safer and more efficient. We intend to broaden this feature by collaborating with additional card payment networks, granting all PhonePe PG merchants access to device tokenized cards,” stated Rahul Chari, Co-founder and CTO of PhonePe.
At PhonePe, “we have consistently emphasized creating innovative solutions that build customer trust and offer convenience. As digital payments progress, we are dedicated to providing services that ensure transactions are safer, quicker, and more seamless for both consumers and businesses,” Chari elaborated.
The company noted that tokenizing cards presents numerous advantages for consumers.
By doing so, they will no longer be required to store their card information on merchant sites or input a CVV for each transaction, resulting in higher transaction success rates and minimized cart abandonment during checkout.
With tokenized cards securely associated with devices, the risks of fraud from compromised or leaked card details are considerably diminished, providing consumers with an additional layer of security and bolstering their confidence in online transactions.
Initially, users will be able to tokenize their Visa Credit and Debit Cards.
For merchants, the benefits extend beyond mere security; it opens up opportunities within an ever-growing network of tokenized cards, ensuring quicker transactions and improved conversion rates.
As the adoption of this hassle-free payment method increases among consumers, businesses will naturally experience enhanced success rates, better customer retention, and a smoother checkout process that promotes growth.
“As a premier PG, PhonePe PG takes pride in being the first to provide this solution to all its merchants,” the company remarked.
