In order to prevent fraud, Google Pay will soon strengthen card ownership verification using one-time passcodes and internal coding. This follows Google's announcement that virtual cards will be available to users on desktop and Android in the coming months.

 

Rajiv Apana, Google's head of product at Google Pay Online, spoke at detail about some of the efforts the business is doing to secure consumers in the company's "What's new in Google Pay" presentation, which was published during this year's Google I/O. Basically, if the risk engine determines that the money being transferred via Google Pay requires verification, it will activate the protections and verify that the user is who they claim to be.

Of course, it's not only about ensuring security; it's also about making the user experience as simple as possible. Appana explains how the risk engine will identify the most rigorous approach to verify that a person is who they claim to be while maintaining a high level of security.

 

Google recognised inline markup as the initial mechanism of protection. Before using the card at the merchant, the inline code will determine if the cardholder requires verification. It requires the user to validate their identification by providing a Card Verification Code (CVC) and receiving an OTP through text or email.

The second approach is to create a One Time Password (OTP) with a nominal cost deducted from your bank account. The user then connects into his bank account to obtain the value that has been uploaded and uses that value as the one-time password. This certifies ownership of the bank account linked to the card used, saves the verification to your Google account, and indicates the costs charged.
