RUC
RUC, or Remote Unattended Card, is a secure payment method where a pre-authorized card is used remotely without a merchant being physically present. It allows for contactless transactions, such as online or over-the-phone payments, by securely transmitting card information through encrypted channels. RUC facilitates quick, verified payments while maintaining security and reducing fraud risk. It's commonly used in scenarios like vending machines, remote service payments, or machine-to-machine transactions where real-time card-present interaction isn't possible.
