  What is 3D Secure?

  • 3D Secure is a security standard developed by Mastercard and VISA that gives you the ability to use an extra password, for online payments only, to prevent fraud attempts. This password will be requested every time you want to make an online transaction to the virtual stores, at merchants enrolled in the 3D Secure standard via credit cards issued by Nexent Bank.

  This system ensures a reliable payment method, eliminating the risk of fraud through the copying of card data or randomly generated card numbers for unauthorized internet use.
  Moreover, cards issued by Nexent Bank are automatically enrolled in the Mastercard SecureCode / Verified by VISA service and stand out for their high-security standards. During the purchase of products or services online, authentication is done via a unique, dynamic password received via SMS each time you perform a transaction.

  To ensure the safety of your online shopping, try to purchase from 3D Secure-enrolled merchants who display the following logos:
