If you use your Summerland Visa Debit or Credit card for online purchases, you may come across Verified by Visa at some merchants.
Verified by Visa is a fraud prevention tool that makes online shopping safer by authenticating you as the genuine cardholder during the transaction process.
How does Verified by Visa Work?
Each time you make a purchase online, Verified by Visa assesses the risk level for your transaction with information such as spending patterns and the value of your purchase.
For most online purchases you won’t even know that Verified by Visa is working behind the scenes.
If the purchase appears out of the ordinary, you may be asked to enter a One Time Passcode sent by SMS to the mobile number you have provided to Summerland or some simple personal information during the transaction. Both the Verified by Visa and Summerland logos will be visible where you are asked to enter this information.
Correctly entering information when prompted validates the purchase as genuine.
If you are having problems making purchases online you should contact Summerland for assistance.
Registration for Verified by Visa
All Summerland Visa Debit and Credit cards are enrolled in Verified by Visa, so there is no need for you to register additionally for this service.
