I think it depends. Almost all banks are now of the opinion that
transactions should always be 3D
secured. Very, few transactions are happening that aren't secured.

You always have to go to a third party site to perform 3D secure afaik. Even
tesco's will punt you off to your bank to secure the transaction. The
best thing to do
is to pre-warn your customers of what is happening before you send
them off and also
when they come back. That way your ensuring the process is clear and
not making them think
their card details are being phished and leave your checkout process.
