3D Secure

Protect your online transactions with the new 3D secure payment system.

The following information will explain how the new 3D secure payment system will help combat fraud when shopping online.

Since the chip and pin was introduced on credit/debit cards, online fraud has increased. 3D secure was introduced as an extra step to secure your credit/debit cards when using them online.

3D Secure stands for Three Domain Secure. Visa has call their version ‘Verified by Visa’ and MasterCard call their equivalent ‘MasterCard SecureCode’. They are both 3D Secure.

In order to avail of 3D Secure authentication you must register your credit/debit card. This is a one time process which takes place on the card issuer’s (Bank) website. the process involves the cardholder answering several security questions to which only the card issuer and cardholder will know the answer. The cardholder then selects a password and agrees on a secret phrase, which will be used by the card issuer during each online transaction.

It is strongly advised that you never disclose your password or phrase to anyone, you should only have to enter it into a website during a transaction. You will NEVER need to disclose your password to any company personnel when buying online. Make sure the website you are buying from is diplaying a padlock in the browser, never buy from a website that does not display a padlock on the payment page.

3D Secure is considered the online version of the 'Chip and Pin' as the cardholder has a personalised password registered with their card that is entered during the checkout process. 3D Secure was predicted to become the industry standard for all online transactions by the end of 2008 . All online consumers will soon become as familiar with 3D Secure, as they have with their ‘Pin’ number when withdrawing money or paying for a product in a store.

3D Secure is available for all credit/debit cards so please check with your bank if you are unsure.
