OREANDA-NEWS. October 09, 2013. 3D Secure is a service created by international card organisations to protect card owners from card fraud online.

All Nordea bank private persons` credit cards will be connected to the service from October 1, 2013.

The service is free of charge for card owners and will mean an additional step in paying by credit card in online shops.

How does the service work?

After you have entered your credit card information when paying for goods or services in an online shop, you will be directed to the 3D Secure environment, where you will be asked to identify yourself in order to confirm the payment. There are two options to identify yourself – by logging into Nordea online bank or using your ID-card.

If the authentication is successful, you shall be directed back to the vendor`s page and the purchase transaction will continue as usual.

Online shops that have joined the service, will display the MasterCard SecureCode logo. All online vendors that use services of banks that operate in Estonia have joined the service by today.

If you have additional question then please call Nordea Customer Support at 1772 (calling from abroad +372 6283 300).
