What is and How to get Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode.

To make online transactions safer, the Reserve Bank of India has made it mandatory for all online transactions to have an extra level of authentication, effective August 1st ‘09.
This ‘extra’ level of security is a password that you will have to enter after submitting your Credit Card details when making online payments. You will need this password while transacting with Answerable.com as well as any other website in India.
This new security level is called VBV – Verified by Visa or MSC – MasterCard SecureCode.
You can verify your Credit Card by visiting the Verification page on your respective bank’s website.
If you are a Visa user, you can visit the bank website’s verification section here. For MasterCard users, click here. Similarly, you can visit the respective verification page of your Bank’s website and register for this extra level of security.You have to register your Credit Card by the 31st of July ‘09. We, therefore, strongly suggest you do so at the earliest.


After submitting your Credit Card details on any payment page, you will be redirected to your Bank’s website. Here, you will need to enter your Visa/MasterCard password. After doing so, you will be redirected back to secure payment page to complete your transaction.
