Authentication

Our innovative authentication solutions already offer private and retail cardholders peace of mind and can do the same for the public sector.

Verified by Visa

Verified by Visa is an online identity-checking service that brings added security and confidence to e-commerce payments.

Public sector organisations that use Verified by Visa can minimise fraud and misuse by ensuring that procurement cards are only used by authorised cardholders. Verified by Visa can also work for citizens by protecting acceptance and providing added confidence when making payments to local government or tax authorities.

Visa CodeSure™

Visa CodeSure™ is an example of Visa’s commitment to payment security and cardholder authentication. Visa CodeSure™ cards incorporate a miniature key pad and display on the reverse of the card. Cardholders enter a PIN on the key pad which then generates a one-time code for secure authentication online by Verified by Visa.

As a result cardholders do not have to remember passwords and the public sector programme manager can be confident that online transactions have been completed by legitimate cardholders. The Visa CodeSure™ card can also be used for online and telephone banking services.
