International payment cards through ePay Payment Solutions

Description of international debit and credit cards.

Use of international payment cards is becoming more and more widespread - also in Denmark. In Denmark credit cards MasterCard and Visa and debit cards Visa Electron and Maestro are issued. The debit cards are particularly popular with younger people below 18 years of age, who are not yet old enough to get a Dankort or credit card.

Merchant agreement

Your company must have a specific agreement with an international payment card for the Internet with one of our acquirers in order to be able to accept international debit and credit cards.

Under each individual acquirer you will find more information about prices, account settlement days and how to apply to them for an acquirer agreement. Click on one of the logos on the right to read more about the acquirer concerned.

3D secure gives increased security

In order to increase the security in the ever increasing e-commerce, VISA and MasterCard have together introduced a 3D secure security standard entitled Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode. This means that payment is completed in the same way, regardless of whether you use your Visa or MasterCard. 3D-secure makes e-commerce more secure for both the cardholder and the e-commerce site.

The increased security consists of, once the customer has entered their card details, the customer also confirming their 3D-secure password. The password is set up by the cardholder the first time they pay by 3D-secure.

If you have any questions about the merchant agreement, or are in doubt as to which payment solution to choose, we can advise you. Contact one of our consultants for a no-obligation chat.
