SecureCode Service for increased security with Mastercard®

SecureCode is a service offered free of charge by Mastercard Worldwide that cardholders can use to increase the security of Internet transactions. Enhanced security is accomplished by adding a password to their Mastercard card number.

To activate the service, the cardholder follows the instructions on the SecureCode website www.securecode.com/cumastercard. After successful activation, the cardholder will be asked to provide their card number and password when purchasing items from Internet merchants subscribing to the SecureCode service.

The SecureCode service provides a number of benefits to the cardholder, the merchant and the card issuer, including:

• The reduction of fraudulent Internet credit card purchases.
• Alleviating cardholder concerns that their card number will be used fraudulently.
• A reduction in the number of fraudulent purchases that must be paid for by the merchant.
• Providing the issuer with a competitive advantage and a reduction of liability for fraudulent Internet activity.
• Cardholders who require assistance registering for the SecureCode service can call their branch.
