RBI introduces card tokenisation facility at bank level
  • This facility is designed to provide convenience for cardholders to get tokens created and linked to their existing accounts with various e-commerce applications.
  • The tokenisation process involves replacing actual card details with an alternate code called the “token”.
  • This token is unique for a combination of card, token requestor (the entity which accepts the request from the customer for tokenisation of a card and passes it on to the card network to issue a corresponding token), and device.
  • This makes online transactions more secure as the actual card details are not shared with the merchant during transaction processing.
