Shopping online
Whenever you want to shop on the Internet, simply reach for your Visa card. You will be in good company - more than
half of all e-commerce transactions are made possible by Visa. Like millions of other people around the world, you
will find that using your card online is as safe, simple and convenient as shopping in your favourite store.
Verified by Visa
To give you even more confidence in shopping on the Internet, Visa has introduced Verified by Visa - a new service
that protects your card details with your own password.
Verified by Visa is easy to use and has already been adopted by many of the biggest names in online retailing -
and more stores are taking part all the time.
Signing up is quick and simple and you can use your existing card. Your bank or other organisation that issued your
Visa card may offer Verified by Visa.
Click here to sign up for Verified by Visa.

Verified by Visa is simple to use. If you already shop online, it will come naturally - and, if you are cautious about
using your card on the Internet, it will give you the confidence to go ahead.

Enjoy added protection while shopping online
MasterCard SecureCode is a new service to enhance your existing MasterCard account.
A private code means added protection against unauthorized use of your card when you
shop at participating online merchants.
Once you've registered and created your own private SecureCode, you will be automatically
prompted by your financial institution at checkout to provide your SecureCode each time
you make a purchase with a participating online merchant. Your SecureCode is quickly
confirmed by your financial institution and then your purchase is completed. Your
SecureCode will never be shared with the merchant. It's just like entering your PIN at
an ATM.
When you correctly enter your SecureCode during a purchase at a participating online
merchant, you confirm that you are the authorized cardholder and your purchase is then
completed. If an incorrect SecureCode is entered, the purchase will not be completed.
Even if someone knows your credit or debit card number, the purchase cannot be completed
without your SecureCode at a participating merchant.
Step 1: Sign up Today for MasterCard SecureCode
To choose your own private SecureCodeTM follow the steps outlined by
your financial institution. Please note your financial institution may not yet offer this new service.
New participating institutions are added to the list often.
Step 2: Shop Online with SecureCode at Participating Merchants
Once your SecureCode is set, the service works automatically when you shop at
participating online merchants.
Step 3: Use Your SecureCode at Checkout
Enter your MasterCard payment information and submit your order
Your financial institution will prompt you to enter your SecureCode
SecureCode is confirmed by your financial institution and your purchase is completed
