Verified by Visa (VbV) and MasterCard®, Secure Code (MSC), (often referred to as 3-D Secure or Payment Authentication), is the latest fraud prevention initiative launched by the card schemes as a more secure method for authenticating the cardholder at the time of the transaction. Both schemes work in the same way by using personal passwords, set by you the cardholder, to add an extra layer of protection when you shop online. 3D Secure can be thought of as an online version of ‘Chip and Pin’ technology.
If your card is enrolled with 3-D Secure, during the payment flow you will be prompted by your bank to enter a password to verify that the transaction is authorised by the card owner before completion. Your 3D secure password is set up between you and your bank to further secure transactions over the internet or where the card holder is not present. If you are enrolled in 3D secure, you must correctly enter you 3D secure password for your payment to be authorised. After submitting your MasterCard or Visa credit or debit card details at checkout, a new window will appear asking you to enter your 3D secure password. If you do not enter your password correctly, or you close this window and do not enter these details your payment will not be authorised If you have forgotten your password or are having any problems with your 3D secure details, please contact your bank who will be able to help you solve this.
