Our step-by-step guide takes you through the process of using Verified by Visa & MasterCard Secure Code:

  • Go to the checkout page
  • Enter your Visa or MasterCard credit or debit card details as usual
  • The website will tell you whether or not it offers Verified by Visa or MasterCard Secure Code.

If you wish want to use your Visa or MasterCard credit or debit card on a website that is not offering Verified by Visa or MasterCard Secure Code yet, we recommend following a few simple safeguards.

  • Shop with retailers you know or research them first to ensure they are reputable and reliable.
  • Keep a record of your online transactions, including the retailer's website address. Many online stores send customers emails summarising the purchase details – make sure you save or print these.
  • Before buying, read the delivery and return policies that should be on the retailer’s website. Can unsatisfactory items be sent back? If the items are faulty, can you get a refund or a credit note?
  • The retailer’s website should also have information about delivery arrangements and costs, currencies they accept and taxes that apply.
  • Look for a telephone number or email address and note them down in case you have any queries.
  • Make sure that your card details will be encrypted securely before being sent across the internet – look for an unbroken key or lock at the bottom of your browser window or check the website address, which should begin https:// rather than http://.
  • Use the latest version of your browser's software and check your computer's operating system software is up to date.
