What is SecureCode™?
SecureCode™ is a service that helps protect MasterCard® card accounts
against unauthorized Internet transactions by using identity
information established between an individual cardholder and his or
her financial institution. Once a cardholder activates the service,
the card cannot be used at a participating Internet merchant without
authentication
by an authorized user of the account.
The overall objective of SecureCode™ is to improve
the security of payment transactions in the electronic commerce
environment. It is designed to improve both cardholder and merchant
confidence in Internet purchases, as well as reduce disputes and
fraudulent activity related to the use of MasterCard® payment cards.
Customers find SecureCode™ easy to use. When a
MasterCard® cardholder enrolled in SecureCode™ uses his or her card for
an Internet purchase at a participating merchant, a
pop-up window
displays requesting the cardholder enter a password in much the same
way the cardholder enters a PIN during a face-to-face transaction. The
cardholder enters
his or her password, the information is
authenticated and then the transaction is submitted
to the
cardholder’s financial institution for authorization.
Choosing your own private SecureCode™
is quick and easy. You can visit
https://secure.shazam.net/SecureCode/ and enroll your card by
following the simple steps.
Or, at participating online merchants, you'll be prompted to create
your own SecureCode™
prior to checkout. When this happens, a window from
SHAZAM will appear and you'll be guided through the simple
enrollment process before your purchase is completed. Once
you've created your private SecureCode™,
you must then use it for future purchases at participating online
merchants.
