How does MasterCard SecureCode work?
Once you’ve registered and created your own private SecureCode, every time you make an online purchase at a participating merchant, a window will appear asking for your SecureCode, similar to the way your bank asks for your PIN at the ATM. When you correctly enter your SecureCode, Canadian Tire Bank, confirms that you are the authorized cardholder and your purchase is completed.

Once you’ve registered and created your own private SecureCode, you will be automatically prompted by your financial institution at checkout to provide your SecureCode each time you make a purchase with a participating online merchant. Your SecureCode is quickly confirmed by your financial institution and then your purchase is completed. Your SecureCode will never be shared with the merchant. It’s just like entering your PIN at an ATM.
When you purchase online, the MasterCard SecureCode issues a receipt at the end of the checkout process. The receipt includes details of your current purchase, such as site name, purchase amount and date. You sign the receipt using your personal SecureCode and click “Submit” to proceed with the purchase. Without your SecureCode, the purchase cannot take place.
