To further secure Automated Teller Machine (ATM) card information as well as all payments on its platform, the leading e-hailing app, Bolt, has implemented a 3DS security update.
A statement from the organisation disclosed that this system is an authentication protocol that aims to protect against fraud and enhance security in online card payments.
It stated that the security update on card trips on Bolt shows the platform’s commitment to easing mobility in the country.
The new feature also further strengthens Bolt’s capacity to ensure all-around safety and security on the platform for all. This is in addition to the safety toolkit on the platform which assists riders and drivers in case of an emergency.
The feature is now live in all 33 cities in which Bolt operates in the country. The introduction of the 3DS security update shows Bolt’s commitment to both riders and drivers by ensuring the security of their card details while using the platform.
“The 3DS security update recently introduced on our platform shows our resolve to continuously improve the security of our platform.
“With this feature, our riders and drivers can be rest assured that an extra layer of security has been added to protect their card information,” the Bolt Country Manager, Mr Femi Akin-Laguda, stated.
