As the popularity of online shopping grows, it is therefore important to ensure that the necessary precaution is taken to protect yourself against online theft and fraud. Now, Alliance Bank VISA/MasterCard Credit Cardmembers can guard against unauthorised card use with the pre-enrolled Verified by VISA and MasterCard SecureCode e-commerce solutions, at no extra cost.

When shopping at a participating merchant online, you will be prompted to activate your card with the Verified by VISA and MasterCard SecureCode as soon as you submit your purchase order to the Merchant.

• Enter your Card details
• Click "Activate Now"

• Create your own security password. For Verified by VISA, the password should be 6-8 characters (including a combination of alphabets, numbers and symbols), without spacing. For MasterCard SecureCode, the password is limited to 6 numeric digits
• Re-enter to confirm your password
• Click "Submit" and an activation confirmation screen will appear

• Once your Card is activated, you will be prompted to key in your password each time you use your VISA or MasterCard Card when shopping at participating online stores.

For added security, a Personal Message containing personal information only known to you and Alliance Bank will appear to assure you that you are dealing with Alliance Bank.
