Overview
3D Secure is a new technical standard developed by Visa and Mastercard to aid in securing transactions over the Internet.
Verified By Visa & Mastercard Securecode use the same technology to help protect your card against unauthorised use when you shop online. They're like the online version of chip & pin.
Verified By Visa and MasterCard SecureCode enable the card holder and card issuer to authenticate each other by exchanging digital certificates before proceeding with an online transaction, assuring the Cardholder that he is dealing with a legitimate merchant and providing the merchant with proof of participation of the real Cardholder. This gives both parties the confidence to proceed and creates a digitally signed record of the transaction that can be verified afterwards.
How does it work?
When shopping online with retailers who have joined the scheme, you will be asked to enter your password at the checkout. Your card details will be recognised and the personal greeting you have previously set will appear on the screen. You will be asked for your password, once you've entered it your payment will go through as normal.
You will use the same password each time you purchase online at participating stores.
If you have already registered
Simply type in your password at the checkout and proceed as usual.
If you haven't already registered
At the checkout you will be given the opportunity to register and set up a password. During registration you will communicate directly with your card issuer via a secure link (we won't be able to see the information you enter). You can also register via your bank. You need only register once to create your password and once registered your password can be used with all retailers participating in the scheme.
If you choose not to register during the checkout process, depending on your card issuer, we may not be able to process your order.
