What is 3D Secure?
About the 3D Secure Service
At Cromartie we are dedicated to providing secure online payment methods. That’s why we've added an extra level of security for your payments at no extra charge which protects you from the unauthorised use of your credit card.
If you make a purchase in a shop, you enter a PIN number or sign a receipt to validate the transaction. 3D Secure mimics this process over the Internet by providing a digital receipt which you sign off with your own personal password.
After you enter your credit card details at our secure checkout, a new window will appear, requesting your personal security code. Your financial institution will authenticate the transaction within seconds, as well as confirm that you are the individual making the purchase.
If you haven't yet registered with 3D Secure, you'll need to activate this feature first. You can do this during the payment process, or activate it in advance through the Visa or MasterCard website.
After you register, you can use the security code for all your online transactions. More and more online stores are now making this extra security code compulsory as an additional fraud prevention layer and extra peace of mind for you.
If you have any questions about our payment process or 3D Secure, please do not hesitate to contact us on 01782 319435 and we will be happy to help you.
