Verified By Visa & MasterCard SecureCode - FAQ
Verified By Visa & MasterCard SecureCode are two unique ways to enhance your card safety when shopping online. It adds a password to your current cards that ensures only you can use it online. All you have to do is activate your existing card with the secure services and create your own password. Once activated, your card cannot be used to make online purchases without your password. It’ll give you the extra assurance that your Card is safer and more secure when you transact online.
How do I activate my card?
You can activate your card by calling up the bank that issued your card and choosing a password and a personal message. Alternately, if you choose to activate your card during online purchases, you’ll be required to provide information to your card issuer confirming your identity and then creating your password.
How do I know activation is secure and safe?
All personal and payment card information between you and your bank is transmitted using a high level of encryption (SSL), and is stored on a secure server behind a firewall to protect against unauthorized access.

Once you enter your card number at the payment page, a Verified By Visa/MasterCard SecureCode window will appear and your card issuer will display an authentication page. You will be required to enter your password/IPIN and click on submit. Once your identity is authenticated, the purchase process will proceed.
What if I suspect that someone has used my password to make a fraudulent purchase?
If you suspect that a fraudulent purchase has been made, contact your Visa card issuer immediately.
What is a Personal Greeting?
This is a message that you create during sign-up. Each time you enter your password to make an online purchase, your Personal Greeting, as created by you, would be displayed. This is your assurance that you are communicating with the correct financial institution.
