The FAST’R by CB directory server, certified for EMVCo 3D Secure 2

CB’s new online payment security service, FAST’R by CB, relies on a directory server that connects e-commerce customers with their banks for authentication; this server is now certified by EMVCo.

An additional guarantee for players in the e-payment industry

This certification is international recognition of this French system and provides an additional guarantee for e-payment stakeholders.

The announcement of this certification also provides an opportunity for CB and its technical partners, STET and equensWorldline, to take stock of the FAST’R by CB pilot programme, which was launched in the field late last year, and to confirm that FAST’R by CB is meeting all expectations.

With three key objectives, FAST’R by CB supports the growth of e-commerce in France: security, efficiency, and compliance.

With this in mind, FAST’R by CB will, in particular, help to:

Card payment data from CB customers and retailers processed and hosted in France

FAST’R by CB also ensures that the card payment data of CB customers and retailers — which is processed and hosted by CB — is handled in France. This is a key governance consideration for the protection of personal data. FAST’R by CB fully complies with the requirements of the GDPR and uses the data strictly for the purpose of combating fraud.

Ultimately, FAST’R by CB represents a commitment to “time to market”: Following an 8-month pilot, FAST’R by CB is gradually being integrated with all technical acceptance providers for CB e-retailers as well as with CB banks in preparation for the introduction of the new regulations on strong customer authentication (PSD2/RTS), on 14 September.

The payment pages of e-retailers who have subscribed to the FAST’R by CB service will display the new CB Secure Payment logo.
Highly regarded by internet users, this logo reassures customers about the security of the payment process. Considered a seal of trust, it combines three reassuring elements: the CB logo, a securely locked padlock, and a phrase in French assuring customers that the CB transaction is truly processed in France.
