Fraud Attempt with 3DS2

Drastic Enhancement in Transaction Security

Mercedes-Benz Langley, part of the Dilawri Automotive Group, encountered a unique case when a vehicle with two flat tires and minor accident damage was towed in on February 2023.

The customer, who preferred online and text-based interactions, requested remote payment and invoicing before sending one of his associates to pick-up the car during after-hours.

By employing Kimoby Pay's advanced encryption and secure payment measures, Mercedes-Benz Langley was able to thwart a fraudulent transaction that would have cost them a substantial sum of $21,219.17.

This potential financial disaster was prevented thanks to the 3DS2 protocol, an advanced secure payment authentication process, that necessitates additional customer identification information, fortifying the transaction's security. This incident highlights the immense value and necessity of stringent security protocols like 3DS2 in the digital transaction landscape to help dealerships safeguard their finances and fortify their reputation amongst their customers.

Undeniable Operational and Financial Savings

The successful prevention of this fraudulent transaction resulted in a direct financial saving of $21,219.17 for Mercedes-Benz Langley. Moreover, the financial impact is amplified by the fact that they also avoided the cost of lost labor time and parts.

By helping to mitigate the risk of future fraudulent transactions, Kimoby Pay offers continuous operational savings. This contributes to the dealership's overall profitability by enabling them to invest more in customer service, vehicle inventory, and business expansion.

Impressive Boost in Customer Confidence

The 3DS2 protocol not only secures transactions but also bolsters customers' confidence in Mercedes-Benz Langley. With the security provided by Kimoby Pay, this dealership enhances its customers' confidence in the dealership's financial transactions. This trust can translate into tangible benefits for them.
