In today’s digital age, consumers demand both convenience and security across all payment types. Therefore, businesses must strike a balance between the simplicity of transactions and the security of payment data. For instance, it’s crucial to leverage the SSL protocol to encrypt all payment information flowing to and from payment portals. Additionally, the adoption of two-factor authentication, using tools such as fingerprints or SMS codes, is becoming increasingly important to enhance security without impacting transaction speed.
