Visa’s multiple layers of security provide cardholders with an extraordinary level of protection so they can feel confident no matter how they use their Visa card. Verified by Visa plays an important role in this strategy in the following ways:

• Improving the security of online payment transactions
• Increasing both cardholder and merchant confidence in Internet purchases
• Reducing disputes and fraudulent activity related to Visa payment cards

The service is free to Visa cardholders. You’ll have the added assurance that your Visa card is safer when you shop at participating online stores. Look for the new Verified by Visa symbol; it’s your way of knowing that you are shopping with an additional layer of security.
