What is MasterCard SecureCode?

MasterCard SecureCode is a new service that will let you use a personal password with your BOBCards MasterCard®, giving you added assurance that only you can use your BOBCards MasterCard to make purchases over the Internet. The process is simple to use and secure:
To use the facility, you would:

  • Connect to the Internet and shop online using your BOBCards MasterCard.
  • You don't need any special software to use MasterCard SecureCode.
  • Using this facility is as easy as using a PIN for ATM transactions.

How does MasterCard SecureCode work?

MasterCard SecureCode provides you with a password to protect your online transactions, just like you use your PIN at an ATM. Here are the steps:

  • Select the goods or services you want from a MasterCard SecureCode online store and proceed to the payment page.
  • Enter your BOBCards MasterCard number and the online store will connect with BOBCards to check whether your Card is secured with MasterCard SecureCode.
  • BOBCards initiates a MasterCard SecureCode pop-up window on your computer screen that includes your Personal Message.
  • Look for and confirm your Personal Message, then enter your password.
  • BOBCards will then confirm your identity to the merchant.

Your payment is authorized and your order is placed. It's that simple!
