ClearAuth®: MasterCard SecureCode®

With MasterCard SecureCode only you and the people you authorize can make online purchases using your account.

When you pay online at a participating merchant with your MasterCard® credit and debit card or your Maestro® card where accepted, a box from your card issuer will automatically pop up prompting you for your special code—just like entering your PIN at the ATM. Within seconds your identity is confirmed. There's no need to get a new card. Registering for your own SecureCode is easy and in just a few minutes you'll be ready to shop online with more confidence.

How SecureCode Works
Using the latest technology, SecureCode helps protect you against the unauthorized use of your MasterCard® or Maestro® card while shopping online. It's easy to enroll and use.

Step 1: Register Your Personal SecureCode
Create a personal SecureCode that only you know. Once your SecureCode is set, the program works automatically.

Step 2: Shop at Participating Merchants
Look for the MasterCard® SecureCode™ logo at participating online merchants. (Check the merchant listing page to view new merchants and special offers).

Step 3: Confirm Your Identity with SecureCode
Every time you enter your MasterCard® or Maestro® payment information at a SecureCode merchant, a box will pop up automatically from your issuer prompting you for your SecureCode. Within seconds your identity is confirmed and your purchase complete. The merchant never sees your SecureCode.
