The service, which has been launched in partnership with Visa and MasterCard, will enable Emirates NBD Cardholders to use a personal password to further protect online transactions by adding an extra layer of security.
Emirates NBD said that DoubleSecure is available through ‘Verified by Visa’ and MasterCard SecureCode the global anti-fraud systems of Visa and MasterCard, and is available only on merchant sites supported by these systems.
Emirates NBD head of Cards Business R Sivaram said Emirates NBD is the first bank in the region to launch this feature on both Debit and Credit Cards. With the highest focus on offering extensive protection against fraud on its Debit and Credit cards, Emirates NBD strives to ensure stress-free online transactions and customer peace of mind.
"Given the increasing use of cards online, we believe it is important to add an extra layer of security to prevent unauthorized use. DoubleSecure requires customers to confirm their identity as the authorized cardholder and ensures that the purchase can be completed only with password identification," Sivaram said.
