What is 3D Secure?
3D secure is a modern security system used in online credit and debit card transactions. Advantage of 3D secure technology is that it prevents the customer’s cards from being used online by other persons. In order to ensure security of transactions, every transaction is protected by non reusable ad-hoc codes and during the transaction, after card details are inserted that code is sent as an SMS message to the customer’s mobile number. Security of the transaction is ensured by inserting of that messaged one-time code by the customer. This code sent to the customer’s mobile number as an SMS message cannot be re-used (it is one time). It should also be noted that this service is free of charge and “Bank of Baku” debit and credit card holders can activate the service by contacting the Bank.
