MasterCard SecureCode
What is MasterCard SecureCode?
MasterCard SecureCode
enables MasterCard Checkcard holders to feel more secure when making
internet purchases with their checkcard by enhancing their current
MasterCard account with a secret code to protect against unauthorized use of
their card when shopping at participating online merchants.
How will the MasterCard
SecureCode protect you?
When you correctly enter
your SecureCode during a purchase at a participating online merchant, you
confirm that you are the authorized cardholder and that 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 the SecureCode at a participating
merchant.
How does MasterCard SecureCode
work?
Once you have registered and created your own SecureCode, you will be
automatically prompted by our financial institution at checkout to provide
your SecureCode each time you make a purchase with a participating online
merchant. Our financial institution quickly confirms your SecureCode and
then the purchase is completed. A customer's SecureCode will never be shared
with the merchant. The process is very similar to entering a PIN number into
an ATM.
Why should you register for a
MasterCard SecureCode?
Not only will it provide added security but you'll also have Zero
Liability, which is the peace of mind knowing that you won't be responsible
for unauthorized purchases. However, if you wish not to register you may be
required to use another form payment.
