I often make purchases online and pay for them with a credit card. What should I do to avoid fraudulent transactions?

All URALSIB cards are connected to 3-D Secure technology. This is a special protocol developed to reduce the risk of unauthorized transactions on the Internet, based on cardholder identification technology for payment transactions over the Internet and aimed at improving the security of such payments by entering a secret password. 

However, unfortunately, not all websites support payments using 3-D Secure technology, so when making a purchase / payment on the Internet, it is especially important to remember the following points: 

• Pay for purchases only in online stores that inspire confidence and have a good reputation. Do not risk the security of your card for the sake of a transaction on questionable websites. 
• If you actively use your card to pay on websites, it is important to remember the security of the computer from which the payment is made. Make sure that your computer is not infected with any viruses. Use antivirus software and try to update it regularly. Do not make online payments using shared-access computers (internet cafes, etc.).
