Internet transactions continue to grow at a higher rate than they do in the physical world. While there is no doubt that the number and value of internet transactions are increasing, it is also clear that cardholder concerns over security prevent the market from fulfilling its true potential. Consumers want the convenience of online shopping with the same security protection that exists in the physical world.

Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode – 3-D Secure – allows them to shop more safely on the internet. Quite simply, it requires the cardholder to provide a personal password or pin number when paying for goods online with their credit card just as they would provide a pin on the high street. This ensures that the shopper is who they say they are when providing card details to an online shop. Cardholders can sign up to the service with their card provider at no cost and are reasurred that their card is protected from fraudulent use on the internet.

The attached guide will give you details on how to set up 3-D Secure on your website.
