 What Is 3-D Secure?

3-D Secure is an authentication protocol used to protect your card from unauthorized online transactions. It's branded as:

  • Verified by Visa
  • Mastercard SecureCode
  • American Express SafeKey
  • Others, depending on your card provider

This system reduces fraud by making sure the person using the card is actually you.

 How Does 3-D Secure Work?

When enabled, your card transaction goes through two-step verification:

  1. Enter your card details on Dr. Job's checkout page as usual.
  2. You're then redirected to your bank’s secure authentication page where you might:
    • Enter a one-time password (OTP) sent to your phone
    • Enter a security code or PIN linked to your bank
    • Approve the transaction via your banking app

If authentication is successful, your payment proceeds.

 Why Does Dr. Job Use It?

  • If you aren’t prompted, your card might not have 3-D Secure enabled.
