Master Card Secure Code and Verified by Visa.

World Pay who process our on-line payments are shortly to introduce an extra security process that you may have been advised about by your card provider  and may have already registered  for through other participating sites. For Visa Cards this is called 'Verified by Visa' and for Master Card it is called ' Secure Code'. If you have not already  registered you may be invited to do so immediately. Do not be alarmed when the pop up window appears seeking personal card detail (this is not a case of 'phishing' by hackers seeking your card details).

If you have already registered with your card provider for this, when you submit the World Pay transaction a pop up window will confirm the transaction, and (when the security system is  activated) display a personal identifier that you have previously registered (so you know you are dealing with your card provider) and then invite you  to enter your pre-registered password before completing the transaction. (This serves the same purpose as entering your pin in card terminals to ensure that it is the card holder making the transaction).

If you have not already registered with your card provider  for this, then after you submit the World Pay transaction (when the security system is activated) a pop up window will invite you to register. You will be invited to confirm various card details, create a personal identifier message  (for displaying in future transactions to confirm that you are linking with your card provider) and then to create a password for future use on participating payment sites.  For a short period you may be given the opportunity to decline to register this immediately and to do it next time or directly with your card provider. On line demos of how the Visa and Master code process works can be  viewed via the two links below  if you wish to check this out before returning to the Payment page and proceeding with your transaction. 

If you prefer to abort the transaction and pre register with your card provider then  access the relevant Bank or card provider's website and search for  Master Card Secure Code or Certified by Visa registration.

If you have any queries on this new system then either email enquiries@socitm.gov.uk or telephone Socitm Office on 01604 497774.
