Verified by Visa
Verified by Visa gives you the thumbs up for online shopping
Books from Amazon? Music from iTunes? Tickets to see your favourite AFL team in the grand final?
While the internet has opened up a whole new world of online shopping possibilities and convenience… it’s also opened a whole new world of online credit card fraud.
So how can you make purchses online with complete peace of mind? If you’re a Visa Debit cardholder you’re in luck.
Visa has developed an easy-to-use fraud prevention program called Verified by Visa. Already, more than 355 million Visa Debit cardholders worldwide benefit from this free service and the security it offers.
When you use your Visa Debit card with participating online merchants, Verified by Visa confirms your identity before proceeding with a purchase. Depending on the security risk of the online merchant involved, Verified by Visa may ask you a few challenge questions which can be used to confirm your identity. Keep in mind if the security risk of a particular website/merchant is too high, Verified by Visa may not allow the transaction to proceed even if you answer these questions correctly. It’s a simple and secure way to ensure that you – and only you – can use your card online, as well as ensure that your card details won’t fall into the wrong hands.
With Verified by Visa, you can also reduce the chances of your card being used fraudulently online if it were to be lost or stolen.
Verified by Visa is being offered by a growing number of online merchants throughout the world – currently more than 25,500 stores, booking agents, travel companies and more. Look for the Verified by Visa symbol as a sign that these merchants value both your business and your privacy.
