Verified by Visa is a global solution for making online/e-commerce transactions more secure by helping to ensure that the rightful owner of the Visa card initiates the transaction. This service employs advanced risk detection technology to monitor transactions, removing the need for passwords, which allows you to shop without interruption. Verified by Visa enables online merchants to confirm a cardholder's identity before an online transaction is approved. This added step will help prevent an unauthorized user from using the card online to perform fraudulent transactions.
