Verified by Visa
Verified by Visa is a complimentary new service that provides a more secure way of purchasing online using your Visa card.
Verified by Visa gives you peace of mind knowing that only you, the cardholder, can use your Visa card.
Verified by Visa is a payment authentication tool which ensures that only you can use your card during online transactions. You have been already registered for this free service.
The program is being offered by a growing number of online merchants throughout the world – currently more than 200,000 stores worldwide. Look for the Verified by Visa symbol as a sign that these merchants value both your business and your privacy.
Each time you make an online purchase with a participating merchant, the Verified by Visa program assesses the risk level of the transaction.
Certain activity may seem out of the ordinary – maybe because it’s a high dollar value transaction, or a retailer you’ve never bought with before. In these instances you may be asked to confirm your “CU number”, which is your WTB member number so we can be sure the card isn’t used without your permission.
This takes only seconds and provides significantly higher protection than you would have received previously.
Verified by Visa will still work for all the Visa cards on your account.
Participating online stores will automatically recognise your Visa card number if it is registered.
Simply enter your payment details as normal and complete your transaction. It may mean that the merchant is not yet enrolled in the Verified by Visa service.
