MasterCard Secure Code

SecureCode™ is a service that helps protect MasterCard® card accounts against unauthorized Internet transactions by using identity information established between an individual cardholder and his or her financial institution.

CBG, in conjunction with SHAZAM and Arcot Systems*, is providing this service to you to improve the security of payment transactions in the electronic commerce environment. Once you activate SecureCode™, your card cannot be used at a participating Internet merchant without authentication by an authorized user of your account.

SecureCode™ is easy to use. When SecureCode™ MasterCards are used for an Internet purchase at a participating merchant, a window display requests your password - similar to using a PIN during a face-to-face transaction. After you enter your password, the information is authenticated and then the transaction is submitted to your financial institution for authorization.

* Please Note: When you enroll your debit card, you may notice a $1 authorization charge by Arcot Systems on your account. This is a temporary charge to verify that your account is valid and that the information you entered is correct. The $1 charge will be reversed within 24-48 hours.
