Akuru Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Osamu Kondo, hereinafter "Akuru"), a provider of fraud prevention solutions for credit card payments and other services, has started providing "ASUKA" and "ASUKA-3DS" to the wholesale site "Super Delivery" operated by Raccoon Commerce Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Gaku Wakui, hereinafter "Raccoon Commerce").
ASUKA-3DS is a service that realizes a smooth authentication experience through a modal UI and a flexible design that applies EMV 3-D Secure (hereinafter "3DS") authentication only to high-risk transactions. The decision to adopt the service was based on their appreciation of the fact that 3DS could be introduced without compromising the user experience.
■ Background of Implementation
Fraudulent use of credit cards has become a serious social issue in Japan. The amount of damage caused by credit card number theft in 2025 reached approximately 47.5 billion yen *1, and this amount of fraudulent damage tends to increase every year.
Given these trends, the introduction of 3DS became mandatory in the "Credit Card Security Guidelines [Version 6.0]" *2 announced by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry last year. While the entire EC industry is expected to raise its security standards, EC merchants have been concerned about issues such as decreased convenience and cart abandonment during the purchase process because 3DS sometimes requires EC site users to perform authentication operations.
While considering the social background and the need to respond, "Super Delivery" emphasizes not compromising the experience where EC site users can complete their shopping smoothly. In order to achieve high security while minimizing the risk of user abandonment, they decided to introduce Akuru's personal authentication service "ASUKA-3DS".
