SYSTEM FOR VERIFYING THE AUTHENTICITY OF A PAYMENT CARD HOLDER

摘要

The invention relates to the art of acquiring and can be used by an acquirer during the provision of merchant acquiring services in the event of an attempt to make a payment using a payment card without physical presence of the cardholder. The system makes it possible to establish authenticity of the cardholder in real time prior to execution of the payment by transmitting a testing signal to the cardholder through the issuer within the framework of a request for an operation to block a small amount of funds on the card. The signal is an alphanumeric code designating the merchant in whose favor the funds on the card are being blocked. This makes it possible to reduce the risk of fraud and avoid a subsequent dispute. The system is based on the obligation of all Issuers to follow a common standard for the exchange of data with payment systems in the course of operations using an international payment card, and the obligation of all Issuers to observe the confidentiality of operations carried out by cardholders and disclose payment information to cardholders alone with preliminary authentication of the latter.

1. A system for verifying authenticity of a payment card holder in a remote access
mode comprising: a hardware-software complex of the acquirer for accepting payments by entering information regarding a payment card and information regarding a device through which the information regarding the payment card was entered; a management server for managing transaction flow between infrastructures of payment cards' issuers, cardholder infrastructure and payment infrastructure, wherein the management server sends the information regarding the payment card and the device to the hardware-software complex of the issuers of payment cards for authentication of an entered card number and identification of the device, and the management server communicates the information regarding the payment card and the device, including a result of authentication received from the hardware-software complex of the issuers, to a server of the hardware-software complex of the acquirer, wherein the server of the hardware-software complex of the acquirer sends, to the user, via the device through which the information on the payment card is entered, a request for confirmation of the payment card code identification, and wherein the server of the hardware-software complex of the acquirer receives, from the user, a query response with the data on payment card code identification and grants permission to make a payment via the server of the hardware-software complex of the acquirer.
