Shopping with VbV

It's simple to shop with Verified by Visa (VbV) once you've registered your card:

  • when you make a purchase online at a participating online retailer, a receipt is displayed at the end of the checkout process
  • the receipt includes details of your current purchase, such as site name, purchase amount and date
  • check the receipt is showing the Personal Message you chose when you registered before signing it as this proves it is a genuine Nationwide receipt
  • sign the receipt using your personal password and click 'Submit' to proceed with the purchase. Without your password, the purchase can't take place
