Better security usually means more friction. Network tokenization is the exception. Flute’s network tokenization runs in the background to keep your business safe and reduce interchange rates. There’s no development work, no checkout changes, and no disruption to your customers.

30% less fraud exposure

Network tokens change after each use, making them nearly impossible to compromise.

Fewer declines

Network tokens are issued by the major card brands, resulting in nearly 5% higher authorization rates.

Subscriptions that don’t break

Tokens update automatically when a card is replaced, expired, or reported lost.

Lower interchange rates

Tokenization can reduce interchange rates by up to 10 basis points on qualifying transactions.

“Partnering with Flute has been a wonderful experience. Everyone at Flute has been fabulous to work with — we appreciate the responsiveness and continued support we receive from the entire Flute team.”

Effortless security
Stronger security, higher approval rates, and lower costs from day one. Network tokens are generated by card networks and change dynamically after each transaction. That means if a token is intercepted, it’s already useless.

Recurring payments

Stored tokens update automatically after a card is reissued, keeping recurring billing cycles uninterrupted and cash flow consistent.

Saved payment methods

Give customers a faster, one-click checkout experience without exposing their actual card data.

Higher authorization rates

Card issuers recognize network tokens as more secure, leading to higher approval rates and lower interchange costs.

Security with abusiness case

No implementation headaches

Network tokens replace actual card data in your environment, reducing the amount of sensitive information you have to handle. That means a lighter PCI compliance burden and lower costs.

FAQs

Network tokenization replaces sensitive card numbers with dynamic tokens generated directly by card networks like Visa and Mastercard. Unlike static tokens created by merchants or processors, network tokens change after each use and update automatically when a card is replaced. This makes them more secure and eliminates payment failures caused by expired or reissued cards.

Standard payment encryption protects card data while it moves between systems, but the actual card number remains unchanged. Network tokens replace that number with a substitute value issued by the card networks themselves, so if it’s ever exposed, it has no usable value outside of the original transaction.

Yes. Network tokenization can lower interchange rates on qualifying transactions. Visa’s network tokens, for example, can reduce interchange by up to 10 basis points. Combined with fewer fraud-related chargebacks and higher authorization rates, the savings add up quickly — especially at scale.

It’s not required, but it’s the most reliable way to handle recurring billing. When a customer’s card is replaced or reissued, the token updates automatically, keeping stored payment information current. Without tokenization, failed charges typically require manual follow-up.

In practice, network tokenization means better authorization rates, less fraud, lower interchange on qualifying transactions, and more reliable recurring billing. Flute’s platform runs everything automatically, with no changes to your checkout or customer experience.
