3D Secure is a protocol used as an added layer of security for online credit and debit card transactions. This is achieved by adding another authentication step for online payments; a password.

It was developed by Visa and named “Verified by Visa”. MasterCard then developed a service based on the same protocol called “MasterCard® SecureCode™”. It was created to improve the security of Internet payments by offering an extra layer of security to customers before making a purchase online. This involves selecting a password. This ensures your credit card cannot be used fraudulently as only you will know the associated password.

The first time you make a purchase with a 3D Secure enabled card you will be redirected to your issuing credit card’s secure website. Before you proceed you must verify some personal details and select a password. This is integrated into our checkout page. You must never disclose this password to anyone – this is how you guarantee your card is secure. Do not write your password down anywhere.

If your card's been rejected, don't panic. There could be a few simple reasons why: 

• The customers' issuing bank has declined our request for the funds
• Wrong card number entered
• Wrong CVV/CVC entered (last 3 digits on back of the card)
• Card expiration date is in the past
• Customers have had a replacement new card but using the old one
• Multiple attempts using the same card can lead to us blocking your card, if so contact us 

If you are still having issues, you can contact us here.
