“Can a specialist authentication and 3-D Secure infrastructure provider become the trusted fraud-prevention and payment-security layer across the entire card-payment ecosystem—issuers, acquirers, merchants, and schemes?”
Entersekt began as a mobile authentication company focused on securing digital banking for financial institutions. Over time it evolved into a broader payment security and authentication platform, extending from banking authentication into the full 3-D Secure stack (ACS, Directory Server, and 3DS Server for merchants/PSPs). The company now positions itself as a fraud and authentication infrastructure provider serving issuers, acquirers, merchants, and payment schemes globally, with certifications across SOC 2, PCI DSS, PCI 3DS, FIDO2, and EMVCo.
Entersekt is headquartered in Stellenbosch, South Africa (with US and EU presence).
