How does 3D Secure credit card feature work?

 

When making an online purchase with Scotiabank your credit card, some merchant websites require a One Time Password (OTP) to authenticate your purchase.

 

A pop-up screen will appear, which will prompt you to send the OTP to your email address registered on the Bank's system. If you do not have an email address on file, you may call the Contact Centre to notify them of the transaction to be completed.

 

Once you receive your OTP, you may enter and confirm your transaction. If you enter an incorrect OTP, you may request that the code be sent to your email address again.
