In simple terms, the encryption process takes the characters you enter and converts them into encrypted/coded characters that are then securely transmitted over the Internet.

We hold a GeoTrust/DigiCert website security certificate. DigiCert is a market leading provider for online encryption security and is one of the longest established in its field. Look out for the secure padlock in the address bar.

Once you've registered and created your own SecureCode password, you will be automatically prompted by your card issuer to type in your SecureCode password each time you make a purchase at participating online stores/retailers. Your SecureCode will then be confirmed by your card issuer to complete your purchase. Correctly entering your SecureCode during a purchase confirms that you are the authorized cardholder.
