Verified by Visa / 3-D Secure
-
As a consumer, there’s nothing you need to register for 3-D Secure. Issuers (a financial institution, like a bank or a credit union) handle the authentication that 3-D Secure provides. Your online transactions are secured through Visa and our enhanced security makes purchasing more seamless—while still protecting you from fraud.
-
As a consumer, you shouldn’t encounter any issues with 3-D Secure. If you do, contact your issuer or bank for more information using the phone number on your card.
-
3-D Secure provides an additional layer of security for eCommerce transactions prior to authorization. It enables the exchange of data between the merchant, card issuer and, when necessary, the consumer, to validate that the transaction is being initiated by the rightful owner of the account. If you’re interested in learning more details about how this security technology combats fraud and provides better checkout experiences, visit 3-D Secure.
Merchants
-
Yes—if you’re using a Visa Credit card, a Visa Debit card or Visa Gift card. Additionally, the merchant must make it clear at the point of sale (whether in store or online) that there is a surcharge. For more information on merchant surcharges, visit Visa Rules.
-
In general, a merchant is not permitted to establish a minimum or maximum amount for a Visa transaction. However, exceptions apply in the U.S. and U.S. territories—like Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam. In those locations and only for credit cards, a merchant may require a minimum transaction amount of U.S. $10. If you encounter an issue where a merchant refused to accept your Visa card on the basis that the merchant requires a minimum or maximum amount on a Visa debit card, or requires that the purchase amount on a credit card is greater than U.S. $10, please notify your Visa card issuer.
