What is MasterCard® SecureCodeTM?
MasterCard SecureCode is a new service to enhance your existing MasterCard account. A private code means added protection against unauthorized use of your card when you shop at participating online merchants.
How does MasterCard SecureCode work?
Once you’ve registered your existing card and created your own private SecureCode you will be automatically prompted by your financial institution at checkout to provide your SecureCode each time you make a purchase with a participating online merchant.

Your SecureCode is quickly confirmed and then your purchase is completed. Your SecureCode will never be shared with the merchant. It’s just like entering your PIN at an ATM, and no new card is necessary.
How does MasterCard SecureCode protect me?
When you correctly enter your SecureCode during a purchase at a participating online merchant, you confirm that you are the authorized cardholder and your purchase is then completed. If an incorrect SecureCode is entered, the purchase will not be completed. Even if someone knows your credit or debit card number, the purchase cannot be completed without your SecureCode at a participating merchant.
