Introduction to Verified by VISA – Greater protection when you use your BRED VISA Debit Card online.
At BRED Bank we want to make certain that your internet purchases are as secure as possible, so we have joined forces with VISA to bring you Verified by Visa. One of its objectives is to continue to build consumer confidence in online shopping—similar to that in a physical shopping environment.
Verified by Visa is a free and automatic online security service that has been created to help guard your VISA Debit Card against unauthorised use online. Verified by Visa works by sending a unique online identifier to your registered email address each time your VISA Debit Card is used on the internet with participating online retailers. You then use your Verified by Visa password to validate online transactions. This helps to protect you from unauthorised use of your VISA Debit Card.
What do we need from you?
