Enjoy a seamless shopping experience

with MasterCard SecureCode and Verified by VISA when using SCB debit cards

 

            To increase the convenience and security of using SCB debit cards when shopping online, SCB has added a process requiring cardholders to register for MasterCard SecureCode or Verified by VISA before making online purchases. During the check-out process when shopping online, the system will verify the identity of the cardholder to ensure that they are actually the person who made the purchase by requiring the entry of debit card information to obtain an OTP (One Time Password) which will be sent via SMS to the customer's registered mobile phone number.

            However, some merchants may not require cardholders to register or enter an OTP because they have linked their payment system with SCB. Customers can be confident that the SCB system is just as secure as using an OTP, and it will make online shopping even more convenient for them.

           As of 8 October 2022, SCB has automatically registered new cardholders, and when shopping online an OTP for all debit cards will be sent via SMS to the mobile phone number last registered with the Bank.
