Protect Your Online Transactions
We encourage all our online merchants to implement MasterCard® SecureCode™ so that they can protect their international sales from fraudulent transactions.
MasterCard Says:
The business case for electronic retailers to offer MasterCard® SecureCode™ protection to customers is compelling.
- 60% of eCommerce chargebacks are “cardholder unauthorized” (the cardholder denies making the transaction). MasterCard® SecureCode™enables online retailers to reduce chargeback and fraud costs
- 44% of consumers indicated having MasterCard® SecureCode™would increase their likelihood of buying more online
- MasterCard® SecureCode™makes accepting cards from other countries easier and less risky – helping online retailers move into new markets
- Retailers who are enabled with MasterCard® SecureCode™can be listed on the MasterCard Consumer Web site, www.mastercard.com/securecode, for free.
MasterCard® SecureCode™is initiated on a merchant’s web site and interacts with both the cardholder and their card issuer. When your customers check out, an in-line window appears asking them to enter a unique, personal code, that has been registered with their bank. The bank then authenticates the cardholde, and provides the Internet merchant with evidence of the online purchase.
