MSC (Mastercard secure code) and NON-MSC cards refer to the verification process used by financial institutions to enhance the security of online transactions.

Here are the differences between the two:
Verification process: MSC cards require an additional layer of authentication when conducting online transactions. After entering the card details, the cardholder may be asked to enter a one-time password (OTP) or undergo additional verification via a registered mobile number or email address. NON-MSC cards do not have this additional authentication step.
Security level: MSC cards provide an additional layer of security compared to NON-MSC cards. The authentication process helps confirm the identity of the cardholder and reduces the risk of fraudulent transactions. NON-MSC cards rely solely on traditional card details (card number, expiration date, CVV) when conducting online transactions.
Acceptance and availability: MSC cards are more widely accepted by online merchants, especially those that prioritize security. NON-MSC cards may be accepted by a wider range of merchants, but they may not provide the same level of protection against fraudulent transactions.
Liability protection: MSC cards often come with enhanced liability protection in the event of unauthorized transactions. Since the cardholder undergoes additional authentication, this can serve as stronger evidence of the legitimacy of the transaction in the event of disputes or fraudulent activity. NON-MSC cards may have liability protection, but this may vary depending on the card issuer's policy.

WHAT IS THE CONCLUSION AND HOW TO APPLY IT?

NON-MSC - the conclusion is obvious, it can be used in all merchants, both in 3D and 2D, and the success rate will be high, the main thing is to choose a bin and a working combination.

CARDS WITH MSC (3ds/otp) - judging by the above, you might think that they are not suitable for work, but if you figure it out, they are in no way inferior to NON-MSC cards, you just need to look for the difference in 2D merchants and the throughput can even be higher than that of NON-MSC cards since their acceptance and availability are higher than that of NON-MSC cards.
Fortunately, there are a lot of these merchants in the US:
Merchant based on Stripe, Square, Intuit
Donations
Hotels and Airline
Clothes, equipment
Gift cards

This is a short list of the most obvious areas, but there can be a great many of them and remember, no one is stopping you from opening them first!
