What is 3-D Secure?
3-D Secure is a security standard developed by Visa and MasterCard® for card payments on the Internet. For Visa this solution is called 'Verified by Visa', for MasterCard® 'MasterCard®SecureCode?'. 3-D Secure is currently offered with the highest security standard, the smsTAN procedure. Here you will receive a 6-digit TAN (transaction number) by SMS to a mobile phone number of your choice for each transaction or sales enquiry as well as for every situation in which you have to identify yourself. With this service your 'online shopping' is now even more secure. Whether via your home PC or other Internet access channels ? 3-D Secure with smsTAN protects your credit card payment on the Internet and prevents unauthorised persons from paying with your credit card data. Would you like to learn more about 3-D Secure? Please contact the financial institution of your credit card.
What happens if I do not want to use the 3-D Secure procedure of if I do not register for 3-D?
The use of the 3-D Secure procedure is always mandatory for credit card payments if the Internet retailer also offers the procedure. If you do not wish to use the 3-D Secure procedure, but the Internet retailer provides for this procedure, you will not be able to use your credit card to make purchases from this Internet retailer. For Internet retailers without 3-D Secure and all other retailers, your credit card can of course be used without restriction at any time.
How does the initial login / registration with Mastercard Secure Code™ work?
When registering for the 3-D Secure procedure with SMS-TAN, the following information is required:
- 16-digit card number
- Date of birth
- Mobile number
- Secure ID: the Secure ID is always identical to the billing account of the credit card and is mainly used for the straightforward and error-free registration of additional cardholders who may not know the billing account. The Secure ID is included in the accompanying letter when new, replacement and renewal cards are sent.
Registration involves two steps: 1. General registration and entering your data; 2. After receiving the activation code, which your bank will send you in the post, you can complete your registration and activate the 3-D Secure service for your credit card.
What should I do if I have received an error message with my credit card payment?
There are a few points to bear in mind when paying by credit card: The card number must not contain spaces, dots or special characters. In addition, the card type (e.g. Visa or MasterCard), the exact expiry date and the verification number must be indicated. If the payment does not work despite correctly entered data, there may be problems with your internet browser (e.g. Internet Explorer). In this case, you can try restarting the Internet browser. If the problem persists, we recommend that you contact your bank, as only your bank can tell you the reason for the problem.
