• When do I have to pay?
  • To make it easier for you to repay the amounts used (in case you do not wish to repay the full amount during the grace period), Nexent Bank allows you to repay only the minimum amount due each month — which is 3% of the transaction value shown on your monthly account statement, plus 100% of any interest and applicable fees (if any);
  • With each account statement issued, Nexent Bank will send you a free SMS with the minimum payment amount;

  What is 3D Secure?

  • 3D Secure is a security standard developed by Mastercard and VISA that provides you with the option to use an additional password only for online payments, helping to prevent fraud attempts.
  • This password is requested every time you want to make a transaction at online stores that are enrolled in the 3D Secure standard, using cards issued by Nexent Bank.
  • This solution addresses the need for a reliable payment method by eliminating the risk of fraud through copying payment instrument details or randomly generating card numbers for use on the Internet.
  • Furthermore, Nexent Bank cards are automatically activated for the Mastercard SecureCode / Verified by VISA service and stand out by offering a higher security standard because the authentication during online purchases is done via a unique, dynamic password.
  • This password is sent to you via SMS each time you want to complete a transaction.

  For safer online shopping, try to purchase products only from merchants enrolled in 3D Secure, who display the following logos:  si
