(OTP) or personal password.

Verified by Visa is designed to give you an extra level of protection against unauthorised card use
when making online purchases with your FNB Visa Cheque Card or Credit Card.

3. What can Verified by Visa do?

  • Protect your FNB Visa Cheque Card or Credit Card with a One Time PIN (OTP) or personal
  • password.
  • Provide an extra level of protection when shopping online.
  • As long as your One Time PIN (OTP) and password remains secure, and you have activated Verified by Visa on your FNB Visa Cheque Card or Credit Card, no one else can use your card number to make online purchases at participating merchants.

4. How do I activate Verified by Visa on my card?

Log on to your FNB Online Banking profile and follow these prompts:

  • Select the “My Cards” sub tab

shopping process all over again, you simply have to enter your One Time PIN (OTP) or personal
password to authenticate your credentials, click “Submit” to complete the process.

6. I share the same card number with others. How does Verified by Visa work for all of us?

The One Time PIN (OTP) or personal password is linked to the specific FNB Visa Cheque Card or
Credit Card during the Verified by Visa activation process. This means that only the cardholder can use the card for online shopping. Additional family members will not be able to use the same card, as they will not have the One Time PIN (OTP) or personal password required for authentication.

Yes, one of the great advantages of Verified by Visa is that it can work with just about any Personal
Computer with an Internet connection. There is no special software to install. Once you’ve activated

  • You can choose to apply the recommended format or choose your own password format.

characters.
