About 3D Secure
3D Secure technology is set to minimize the risks of fraudulent activities on your card when shopping online.
After subscribing to 3D Secure, you will have to enter your personal 3D Secure password on the online shopping websites, apart from your regular card details (card number, expiry date and CVV). Thus a third person who doesn't know your 3D Secure password will not be able to use your card details for fraudulent transactions.
The 3D Secure protocol was established by VISA International and MasterCard Worldwide in order to protect customers and banks from suspicious activities.
The protocol created by VISA is called Verified by VISA and the protocol established by MasterCard is called MasterCard Secure Code. You can see their logos on online shopping web sites.
