3D Secure Details

What is this "3D Secure" thing?

Created by the card payments industry, 3D Secure is a security feature which ensures that payments made using certain credit or debit cards are authenticated by the card holder with their bank at the time of the transaction.

Don't worry, if you are not already enrolled then you are able to do so with your bank during the checkout process on our website.

3D Secure is the common name for the technology behind MasterCard Secure Code (MSC) and Verified By Visa (VbV).

If your card is enrolled with 3D Secure then during the checkout process you will be prompted by your bank to enter a password or specified digits of your password to verify that the person making the payment is you, the card holder.

Leonard's Gifts has now fully implemented 3D Secure to ensure that all customers experience the best possible security when shopping with us, if you have any questions about this process then please do get in touch with us by using the "contact us " form.

The 3D Secure process is fully integrated with our checkout and will not open a new window or take you to another website, during the checkout process 3D Secure communicates directly with your bank. Communication is fully encrypted by Thawte and we never see your card details, the payment is handled completely by the bank and card payment processor.

Here are some example images of what the 3D Secure process will look like:
