Flipkart on Monday launched Visa Safe Click (VSC), powered by Visa, the payments technology giant. VSC, a new payment solution now available on the Flipkart platform, will enable the e-commerce platform to deploy the country’s first in-app device-based network authentication solution.
“OTP-based authentication is one of the biggest points of friction in online card transactions, wherein we have observed significant customer drop-offs, said Ranjith Boyanapalli, Head, Fintech and Payments Group at Flipkart.
“VSC completely replaces OTP with a background authentication, removing the need for any additional customer action. Through this initiative, we hope more consumers can make small-ticket purchases more easily and complete their purchase journey in a click,” Boyanapalli noted.
