Network Tokenization has emerged as a game-changer in the online payments landscape by offering improved approval rates, fraud protection and reduced interchange fees. The use of a unique, encrypted identifier to proxy card information has made Network Tokenization the preferred method of processing payments for high-performing online businesses.
Diving in—why are Network Tokens so fundamentally beneficial?
Fraud Detection
Using Network Tokens ensures that stolen data remains unusable, mitigating the impact of malware, data breaches, and phishing attacks. This proactive approach significantly mitigates the potential impact of security breaches, safeguarding both the organization and its customers from the detrimental consequences of fraud.
Furthermore, embracing Network Tokens can lead to substantial benefits in terms of regulatory compliance, particularly in regard to PCI DSS obligations. Since, unlike with traditional payment methods, the exposure to sensitive data is minimized.
In essence, organizations can proactively fortify their defenses against fraud while simultaneously alleviating the complexities associated with PCI compliance.
Reduce Involuntary Churn
Beyond bolstering security, Network Tokens are best known to mitigate payment refusals. Payment declines range from 10% up to 30%, depending on the industry, of which around 70% can be categorized as false declines.
The ambiguity of such a high percentage has been a frustration for merchants and payment managers for decades. While some, such as Insufficient Funds, offer a very definite reason for payment refusal, the classic Do Not Honor is most often a mix of various reasons and a handed down frustration.
Network Tokens reduce number declines that fall into these -frustrating- generic categories, with the potential to increase approval rates by over 3%, since Payment Manager will also be able to focus on addressing inefficiencies in other areas.
The challenges of implementing Network Tokens
Despite these important benefits, we understand that the implementation of Network Tokens comes with challenges. Incorporating this technology into existing payment flows can require significant technical effort, often necessitating substantial changes to payments infrastructure, such as your vaulting and PCI environment.
These challenges exacerbate when it comes to ensuring centralized compatibility with multiple payment processors and gateways, as you may be required to originate and process different tokens across multiple partners.
Finally, because Network Tokens need to be regularly updated and synchronized with the original card data, their management and maintenance does have an additional operational overhead, particularly in the case of payment reconciliation operations.
In other words, while Network Tokens offer significant benefits, the challenges of integration, compatibility, lifecycle management, and staff upskilling should be carefully navigated to ensure a cost-benefit positive implementation.
