IATA travel agents: important information for reducing ADMs and fraud!

Dear Valued Partner,

For ALL IATA travel agents who use or are contemplating using online or e-commerce transactions conducted electronically through the internet to process card non-present BSP transactions, please be informed that 3DS reporting capabilities are now reported in production in ALL BSPs!

What does this mean?

  • 3DS authentication allows a fraud liability shift from the merchant to the card issuer, reducing significantly the risk of ADMs (Agency Debit Memos).

What do you need to do?

  • Please forward this message to your IT/Finance department.
  • If you as an Agent are interested in authenticating the card paying client on behalf of the airline and then reporting the result of that authentication, please contact your local GDS.
  • Also, please contact your payment service provider to ensure the right infrastructure is in place to generate the authentication sequence.

Additional information can also be found on www.iata.org/dish including the following documentation:

  • DISH 23.0 Handbook
  • Correction Bulletin to the published DISH 23.0 version

We are working hard towards service excellence, one step at a time…
