Card fraud, cyber crime, etc are on the rise and is now becoming a cause of concern. But Ecobank has a unique authentication service to add a new dimension of security to protect you when using your card to shop online on all devices like desktop, laptop, tablet and your mobile phone. And it is the 3D Secure.
The 3D Secure is a security feature that helps you to confirm online purchases made with your card. And it is important because it protects you against potential fraud that can result from lost or stolen card. This provides proof of your identity where your purchase does not require you to enter your pin. And note that the 3D Secure does not apply to payments made via the Ecobank mobile App or QR codes on Ecobank Pay, it applies to payments made via other websites.
So in this article, I will tell you how the Ecobank 3D Secure works. So keep reading on.
