MasterCard® SecureCode™

Guard your card online

MasterCard SecureCode is a simple and secure way to pay online. A private code known only to you and your bank, your SecureCode enhances your existing MasterCard account by protecting you against unauthorized use of your card when shopping online at participating online retailers.

Step 1 – Choose Your SecureCode

Sign Up for MasterCard SecureCode through your financial institution:

ATB FINANCIAL

BMO Bank of Montreal
Canadian Tire Bank
National Bank of Canada
President’s Choice Financial



Or, create your SecureCode during shopping


Beginning April 4, 2008, you will be required to enter your SecureCode during checkout every time you make a purchase with your MasterCard card at any SecureCode-enabled merchant – you’ll be prompted to create your own SecureCode during checkout. When this happens, a window will appear and you’ll be guided through a simple SecureCode enrollment process before your purchase is completed.

Step 2 – Use Your SecureCode at Checkout

Every time you pay online at participating retailers, you will be automatically prompted to enter your own private SecureCode – just like entering a PIN at the ATM. In seconds, you gain added protection while shopping online.

How It Works

Step 3 – Shop Smarter

Look for the MasterCard SecureCode logo when shopping at participating online retailers.
