“3D Secure” is a solution created by international card organisations that employs additional identification of the cardholder to make Internet purchases more secure. This will reduce the potential for any card fraud online. Even if bank card information is copied, the imposters will not be able to use that information alone to pay for purchases at online shops that have joined the programme.

We will integrate all your SEB issued bank cards with the 3D Secure programme automatically. Use of the programme is free and means just one additional identification when making an online purchase.

OThose online shops that have joined theis security system will feature the “Mastercard ID Check” and/or “VISA Secure” logo. To date, all of Estonia’s online shops have joined the programme.

How does the 3D Secure programme work?

1. Once you have entered your bank card details during an online purchase, you will be directed to the the webpage of the SEB Internet Bank page, where you will be asked to identify your personauthenticate yourself to confirm payment. EFor this, enter your SEB Internet Bank username, select a method of authentication and enter your passwordcode.
2. Successful authentication re-directs you back to the merchant and the purchase transaction will continue as usual.
3. Should authentication fail, an alternative method of payment is to be selected for the merchant (an alternative bank card or a bank link for Estonian merchants).
