# Payment metrics

## 3D Secure

3D Secure helps prevent fraud and keeps your customers’ payments safe and secure.

## No KYC

CoindPay integrates multiple acquiring partners with varying No-KYC limits (e.g., €700, €1,000, €1,500), optimizing approval rates for low-value transactions. Consumers benefit from a seamless \~30-second checkout via wallet payments such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. Funds are settled through CoindPay’s settlement gateway within 5–10 minutes (net of applicable taxes) directly to the merchant’s wallet.

## Need KYC

{% hint style="warning" %}
For Payments/On-Ramps, CoindPay typically triggers additional KYC or enhanced verification only when a user’s cumulative transaction volume exceeds the No-KYC Limit. However, KYC may also be required below this threshold if the user is flagged by anti-fraud systems, which can occur for various unpredictable risk indicators.
{% endhint %}

1. <mark style="background-color:purple;">Once a user has successfully completed KYC, CoindPay generally does not require identity verification again for subsequent purchases, provided that:</mark>

* The user logs in with the **same account**
* The **device, IP, and region** remain consistent
* No **risk or compliance rules** are triggered
* Their cumulative transaction volume is **below the No-KYC Limit**

Under normal circumstances, repeat purchases are processed without any additional KYC steps

2. <mark style="background-color:purple;">When might CoindPay require additional or repeated KYC?</mark>

Additional verification may be required if any of the following conditions occur:

| Scenario                                   | Description                                                                                                  |
| ------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Cumulative volume exceeds No-KYC Limit** | Crossing the max limit triggers enhanced compliance checks under CoindPay’s risk policies.                   |
| **Higher purchase limits needed**          | User exceeds basic limits and needs to unlock higher KYC tiers (address verification, proof of funds, etc.). |
| **Country/region changes**                 | The IP, payment card country, or geolocation differs from prior KYC data.                                    |
| **New payment method added**               | Switching or adding a new card may require additional verification.                                          |
| **Risk or suspicious activity detected**   | Unusual patterns trigger CoindPay’s risk engine, which may require re-verification.                          |
| **Long inactivity period**                 | Some regions require KYC refresh after prolonged inactivity.                                                 |

3. <mark style="background-color:purple;">Typical User Experience</mark>

* **First purchase:** Full KYC completed.
* **Subsequent purchases:** No repeated KYC required.
* **Only when cumulative purchases exceed the no-kyc limit** or certain risk conditions apply will additional checks appear.

This ensures smooth repeat transactions while maintaining regulatory compliance.

CoindPay’s KYC (Know Your Customer) sharing system streamlines user identity verification by integrating with partners and third-party providers like SumSub. This process ensures compliance with regulatory requirements, while minimizing repeated verification steps for users.

When users complete KYC directly within CoindPay’s widget or wallet, the verification typically includes:

* Identity verification via passport, ID card, or driver’s license.
* Liveness verification (selfie or video).
* Address confirmation (required for IBAN and card features; for cards, address is entered without document upload).
* Phone number verification (required for IBAN feature).

**Special considerations**

* **US residents:**  KYC for US users requires additional processing through ZeroHash. If verification fails, CoindPay handles the case accordingly.
* **KYC renewal:**  KYC status can expire, requiring users to re-verify.
* **Error handling:**  Common errors include invalid parameters or failed verification attempts. Support is available for resolution.

## Monitoring

{% hint style="info" %}
CoindPay operates dispute and fraud monitoring programs to help merchants maintain compliance with card network requirements and protect the overall payment ecosystem. Merchants are expected to keep disputes (chargebacks) and confirmed fraud at acceptable levels. Exceeding thresholds may trigger monitoring programs, fees, or restrictions until performance improves.
{% endhint %}

### 1. Overview

* **Dispute / Chargeback:** A payment reversed due to a customer dispute.
* **Confirmed Fraud:** Transactions identified as fraudulent.
* **Key Principle:** Monitoring programs focus on **preventing disputes and fraud**, rather than outcomes of individual cases.

CoindPay continuously monitors merchant performance and provides support to reduce disputes or fraud. Merchants may be asked to provide details about:

* Checkout / user flow
* Recent changes in operations
* Measures to reduce risk

The goal is to ensure both merchant performance and the overall payment system remain healthy and compliant.

### 2. Monitoring Programs

#### **Visa Monitoring Program (VAMP)**

VAMP monitors disputes, fraud, and card testing activity. Every month, CoindPay calculates metrics based on Visa reports from the previous month.

| Metric          | Definition                                                      | Threshold                                                                                                                                   |

### 3. Remediation & Best Practices

**Remediation Steps:**

1. Submit a remediation plan to CoindPay with risk mitigation measures.
2. Apply fraud prevention tools (velocity checks, 3DS, KYC improvements).
3. Adjust checkout, billing, or refund policies as needed.

**Best Practices to Reduce Disputes & Fraud:**

* **Prevent fraud:** Reverse suspicious authorizations before capture
* **Cancel subscriptions:** Easy cancellation, clear billing terms, reminders
* **Unreceived products:** Track shipments, require signature for high-value items
* **Unacceptable products:** Clear descriptions, images, flexible refunds
* **Friendly fraud:** Collect agreement, ship to verified addresses
* **Other disputes:** Ensure recognizable statement descriptors
