Configuring Verification Information At Point-of-Sale Devices

Abstract:

Techniques and arrangements for dynamically modifying a cardholder verification method (CVM) implemented at a point-of-sale (POS) device. In some instances, the techniques instruct a POS device to determine an attribute associated with a received payment instrument and determine, based on this information and via the issuing entity, whether to implement a default or static CVM or whether to apply a modified or dynamic CVM such that the POS device requests different verification information than if the POS device did not modify the CVM. The modified or dynamic CVM may be implemented if a customer's device, present at the location of the payment transaction, has installed thereon an application of the entity that has issued the payment instrument.
