Still, for many small and medium-sized businesses, investing in enterprise-grade authentication solutions often feels out of reach due to high licensing costs and complex deployment models.

Why Cost shouldn’t be a Barrier to Payment Security

Fraud prevention and regulatory compliance, such as PSD2 SCA (Strong Customer Authentication), are requirements for any business accepting online payments. Large enterprises have long relied on robust 3-D Secure (3DS) solutions to protect transactions, but for smaller organizations, these tools often come with a price tag that’s simply too high.

As a result, many SMBs delay adopting 3DS or settle for less secure alternatives, leaving both their business and their customers exposed to risk.

Designed for SMBs

Our Nostro 3DS Server is built to close this gap. By removing heavy upfront licensing fees and introducing a streamlined deployment model, we ensure that smaller organizations can access the same advanced authentication technology trusted by global enterprises, without overspending.

How do SMBs benefit from this?

• Cost-efficient option: no large fees
• Frictionless deployment: easy integration so that the business can get up and running quickly
• Enterprise-level security: advanced fraud prevention and PCI DSS compliance at a fraction of the cost.
• Scalable: security capabilities that grow together with the business.

Empowering Growth through Security

When payment security is affordable, SMBs can focus on growth instead of risk. By adopting a cost-effective 3DS Server, smaller businesses gain customer trust, meet compliance requirements, and reduce chargebacks while staying within budget.

With the right technology partner, payment authentication doesn’t need to be a financial burden. Instead, it becomes a growth enabler.
