Seamless online authentication for a better experience

Consumers love the convenience of online shopping. Unfortunately, the risk of fraud gets in the way. Mastercard SecureCode addresses shoppers’ security concers of online shopping while minimizing eCommerce chargebacks to merchants.

SecureCode answers the need for payment guarantee and cardholder authentication by providing shoppers with a unique personal code. Mastercard SecureCode Plus enhances this solution by integrating data into your website, making authentication seamless.

How Mastercard SecureCode works

Shoppers enter their SecureCode before checkout, allowing issuers to quickly verify the cardholder and give merchants proof of an authorized purchase — with minimal cost and effort.
