Security

This service employs the 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL), which is one of the strongest encryption technology most commonly used by large-scale online merchants, banks, and brokerages worldwide. All online sessions between you and the bank are protected by up to 128-bit encryption, which best protects your information against disclosure to third parties.

Encryption is a method of scrambling your information to protect its transmission across the Internet. Encryption transforms data into an unreadable form, and decryption reverses that process. Both encryption and decryption require the use of a special code, usually referred to as a key. The encryption of data provides a strong degree of protection against tampering while data is moving through the Internet.

3D Secure is a FREE service facilitated by VISA and MasterCard that lets you transact online securely using your debit or credit card. This service is available only on 3D Secure merchant sites. Verified by Visa (VBV) / MasterCard SecureCode (MSC) use password protection during an internet purchase to authenticate the customer as an added fraud prevention measure.

VBV/MSC provides added assurance by verifying you while using your Standard Chartered Visa/MasterCard card to make payments online or e-Commerce sites. You can be assured that any online merchant giving VBV/MSC service is a legitimate commercial entity. A private code means added protection against unauthorised use of your card when you make payments online.

VBV/MSC protects your existing Visa/MasterCard giving you assurance that you and only you can use your Visa/Master card for electronic payments. The added protection of VBV/MSC is automatically enabled on your card.

A One-time Password is a password that is valid for only one login session or transaction, on a computer system or other digital devices. OTP is automatically generated via email, SMS into your mobile for authentication.

No registration is required. This feature will be automatically enabled on your card. Please ensure that you have updated your latest email address, mobile phone number with us, as the OTP will be sent to the email address, mobile number in our records.
