New Mastercard minimum data requirements for 3D Secure (V1)

Mastercard updated its minimum data requirements for 3D Secure earlier this year.

At this time, Mastercard has not announced any non-compliance fees or plans to decline transactions that don’t include the minimum data. We recommend providing this data to improve authentication performance across all supported schemes.
