How Long Can an Amount Be Reserved?

Payrexx offers the possibility to reserve amounts for e.g. credit card payments. The banks usually guarantee a debit within 7 days. The debit can also work later, but it is no longer guaranteed by the bank.
Payrexx has no possibility to extend the duration of reservations.

What Is 3-D Secure?

3D secure is a procedure to increase the security of credit card transactions. The goals are to reduce credit card fraud and protect all parties involved.
How it works
After the buyer enters his credit card number, a connection is established with the card issuer so that the buyer can confirm his identity with a code (two-factor authentication). After correct authentication, the credit card payment is being executed.
