Protect your credit card online
Enter only your credit card details on secure sites
Check the https connection in the URL, as well as a padlock or another digital security certificate to ensure that you are only entering your details on a site that encrypts the transaction end-to-end. Don't share your credit card information over email.
Purchase a prepaid card for online transactions
Prepaid credit cards allow you to load a set amount of money at the time of purchase.For those who want to keep online purchases completely separate from
everyday credit card transactions, prepaid cards are an option to
consider. These can either be bought online or from a traditional bricks
and mortar retailer for a small fee.
Add credit card's layer of security
Many credit cards will have an additional layer of security that might
not be enabled by default. MasterCard has a product called SecureCode,
which is a private code that you enter every time you make a transaction
on a supported site, and is never disclosed to the retailer.
Verified by Visa, offers a personal message that
greets you when you are making a transaction, as well as a password to
authorize a purchase. The check for SecureCode is here, while Verified by Visa can be found on your region's Visa page.
