How to use Verified by Visa

Verified by Visa is easy to use. It just adds one extra step to the process of paying for something online.

Your Visa card will continue to work just as it does now and you will still be able to use it with retailers who are not yet offering Verified by Visa. Verified by Visa is simply an additional layer of security to give you complete confidence when you’re shopping online.
