What is Visa Secure?

Visa has recently enhanced its security for online purchases making the experience seamless and simpler. Along with these enhancements, Visa has rebranded the name from Verified by Visa to Visa Secure.
Visa Secure is a service that provides you with increased protection from potential fraud for online shopping.
Together with participating retailers, Visa Secure provides you with an additional layer of validation at the time of purchase that helps protect against unauthorised use of NAB Visa credit and debit cards. This service is free for NAB Customers.
Protection is provided to you for online purchases, where you may be guided through an extra check to verify your identity. For reassurance, look out for the Visa Secure logo displayed on participating retailers’ website with online shopping options.
You can still shop online with non-participating retailers using your NAB credit or debit card, however, your purchase will proceed without the extra layer of security offered by Visa Secure.

Do I need to register my card for Visa Secure?

No, there is no need for any registration. All you need to do is to make sure you have downloaded the NAB app and/or have a valid mobile number registered with NAB, so you can receive your secret code. For more information go toTravel notifications.

What should I do when I receive a “Payment Authentication” screen during an online payment?

A “Payment Authentication” screen may appear shortly after you attempt to complete an online purchase. This verification helps ensure the person using your card is you, and protect you from potential fraud. To verify your identity, NAB will send you a secret code to your preferred device. This secret code is required to be entered on the Payment Authentication screen and, if successful, will complete the authentication.
If you are making an online purchase with a NAB Corporate card, you may be asked to use Online Shopping ID (OSID). Your OSID is located on the back of your NAB card and can be found above the magnetic stripe.
