Take the Visa card you already use, add a password to confirm online purchases, and you've got Verified by Visa. It offers you added safety by helping to ensure that only you can use your Visa card online. Of course, Visa always protects you against unauthorized purchases online. But now, by using your Verified by Visa password, you can help prevent unauthorized purchases before they even happen.

Here's how it works.

Verified by Visa is a service that protects the Visa credit or debit card you already have. So once you activate Verified by Visa:

1. At participating online stores, your card will be automatically recognized as protected by Verified by Visa.
2. Your password will be verified.
3. The transaction will be completed as usual.

Just like that. Verified by Visa gives you added protection when you shop online.
