To activate 3D Secure for a Visa card, the general process is:
- Contact your card issuer or bank to confirm eligibility and get guidance on activation.
- Many banks allow activation via their online banking portal or mobile app by navigating to card management or security settings.
- Look for options named "3D Secure," "Verified by Visa," or similar, and follow the prompts to enroll and activate.
- During activation, you may be asked to create a password, PIN, or passphrase or enroll to receive an OTP (one-time password) via SMS or email.
- Some banks provide confirmation of activation by message or email.
- When shopping online at merchants supporting 3D Secure, you'll be prompted to use the password, PIN, or OTP to authenticate transactions.
It's important to keep your contact details updated with your bank for receiving OTPs or authentication codes. Some banks also offer mobile apps specifically for 3D Secure verification to streamline the process. If experiencing any issues, contacting your bank's customer support is recommended for assistance.
