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, which is based on the technology of identifying the cardholder when making payment transactions via the Internet and is aimed at improving the security of such payments by entering a secret password.

But, unfortunately, not all websites support the ability to make 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 those online stores that are trustworthy and have established a good reputation. Do not risk the security of your card for the sake of a transaction on dubious websites.
• When actively using a card for payments on websites, it is important to remember the security of the computer itself from which the payment is made. Make sure that your computer is not infected with any viruses. Use antivirus software and try to keep it updated at all times. Do not make online payments using shared-access computers (internet cafes, etc.).
