What is Mastercard Secure Code?

Mastercard Secure Code is a program developed for safe online shopping using ProCredit Bank Mastercard cards and in accordance with the 3-D Secure global standard. When making a purchase you confirm your identity to the bank by using the personal password or iPIN, which functions like a PIN at an ATM. The entry and verification of the iPIN/password is done exclusively between you and the bank; the online shop has no access to the information that you exchange. In this way, you are the only one who can use the payment card at online shops that support payments with Mastercard Secure Code.

 

How does Mastercard Secure Code work?

The Mastercard Secure Code service is only offered by online stores that participate in the Mastercard Secure Code program. The shopping process is identical with that of other online retailers; the only difference is that Mastercard Secure Code vendors perform the user authentication when confirming the purchase.

 

What are the main advantages of Mastercard Secure Code?

  • No special hardware or software required – only an Internet connection
  • Improved security measures to prevent improper online use or card fraud by unauthorized third parties
  • Secure transfer of payment information while shopping online
  • Increased control over the authorisation of payments
  • IPIN (Internet Personal Identification Number) accessible only to the cardholder
  • Transactions on sites that accept payments via Verified by Visa can only be authorised by the cardholder
  • Merchant does not have access to security information required for payment authorization
