How does MasterCard SecureCode work?
Once you’ve registered and created a SecureCode, each time you make an online purchase, a window will pop up asking for your SecureCode, just like using a PIN at the ATM. When you correctly enter your SecureCode, your card issuer confirms that you are the authorized cardholder and your purchase is completed. No code, no confirmation, no purchase.
When a cardholder submits their online order at a participating merchant, the MasterCard SecureCode solution performs the following to ensure that the cardholder is authorized to make this transaction: • It initiates an in-line window from the card issuer prompting the cardholder to enter their unique personal code.

If the correct code is not supplied, your card issuer cannot confirm your identity and so the purchase will not go through. No code, no confirmation, no purchase.
When you purchase online, 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.
