Benefits of Verified by Visa (VbV)

This is just one more initiative in our ongoing fight to stamp out financial fraud. When you register for this free service you get:

• another level of security to your online transactions – by using a password only you can use your card online
• safer Internet shopping - the more cardholders that register, the more retailers will sign up to Verified by Visa (VbV), making Internet shopping safer for everyone
• better choice - if you don't register your card you won't be able to use it to shop online at retailers who have signed up for Verified by Visa (VbV)*
• peace of mind – even if you don't currently shop online, registering your card for Verified by Visa (VbV) increases your protection against potential online fraud

* Important: You'll be given three opportunities to register when shopping online at Verified by Visa retailers. If you do not register during the first three attempts, you will be able to complete your transaction as normal. However, if on the fourth request you do not register, you will not be able to use your debit or credit card with any online Verified by Visa retailer until you have completed registration.
