This is an additional protection service from Visa aimed at reducing the risk of online fraud through the Three-Domain Secure Program, involving the cardholder, the merchant, and the bank. It works by sending a one-time password (OTP) via SMS to your mobile phone to complete the payment on participating websites.
How to Use
- After completing your purchase and entering your card details, a new page will appear showing "Arabi Islami 3-D Secure" with the bank's and Visa's logos, prompting you to enter the OTP.
- You will receive an SMS on your mobile phone containing the OTP. Enter this code in the OTP field on the page.
- Press submit.
- A new page will confirm that the payment was successful.
*If you do not receive the OTP or it takes too long, press "Resend" on the page to send it again.
