Mastercard SecureCode

Working together to make Internet shopping safer for you and your customers

As electronic retailers we face unique challenges in accepting cards for payment in the e-commerce environment. Unlike the physical world, there’s no signed sales receipt online and therefore no definitive way for a merchant to dispute a cardholder claim that a purchase wasn’t made. Now, with MasterCard SecureCode, there is a way to protect electronic retailers and our customers from unauthorized purchases.

MasterCard SecureCode is initiated on a retailer’s Web site and interacts with both the cardholder and their card issuer. When you the customer check out, an in-line window appears asking you to enter a unique, personal code that has been registered with your bank. The bank then authenticates the cardholder and provides the electronic retailer evidence of the online purchase.
