How does Verified by Visa (VbV) work?
When you make a purchase online at a participating online retailer, Verified by Visa (VbV) issues an online 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 password and click ‘Confirm purchase’ to proceed with the purchase. Without your password, the purchase can’t take place. For added security you are also assigned a Personal Message. Each time we present you with a Verified by Visa (VbV) receipt you should look for the Personal Message as this proves it is a genuine Nationwide receipt.
