Six Tips to Help You Shop Safely Online
Visa, banks and merchants work hard to ensure every payment you make is secure – but there are also a few things you can do to make your online shopping experience safer.
1. Confirm your identity with ease: Set up biometric authenticated methods like fingerprints or facial recognition on your phones and within your banking apps. This will help you pay securely online without sharing any sensitive information.
2. Look for the “s”: When paying online, check the URL to ensure it starts with https://. The “s” at the end indicates a secure connection.
3. Sign up for transaction alerts: Stay in the know by signing up to transaction alerts through your mobile banking app.
4. Beware of phishing scams: Be careful of unsolicited and suspicious emails or phone calls requesting for personal information like passwords or account information. If in doubt, do not click on any link or download files.
5. Take advantage of one-click services: With some shops, you can use one-click payments. You set up your account details, prove your identity as the cardholder, and shop online easily without the need to enter your card details every time.
6. Update your apps and software: Install the latest software on your computer, tablet or phone which could help protect your information.
Verified by Visa
Verified by Visa provides extra peace of mind for online shoppers. It is a password-protected authentication system designed to confirm the identity of the cardholder when a Visa card is used online.
By requesting a password known only to the cardholder, the bank can verify that the genuine cardholder is entering their card details into an eCommerce website. The password may be one that you nominate yourself and must remember, or, it could be a code the bank sends you via SMS when you are about to make an online payment. It helps to prevent fraudulent transactions and gives all parties in the payment process greater peace of mind, especially when used in conjunction with all the other security features offered by Visa.
How it works
Register
Through the bank that issued your Visa card, register for Verified by Visa in just a few minutes. Upon activation, Verified by Visa protects you at every participating online store. When you shop online at a participating merchant, your card will be automatically recognised as protected by Verified by Visa.
One-time password
You will be asked to authenticate yourself in a Verified by Visa window displayed on the site using your Verified by Visa password or the one-time password issued to you.
Validation
Once you have entered your Verified by Visa code, simply follow the steps as you normally would to complete the transaction. Your issuer will verify your entries and the transaction will be completed upon successful validation.
