Verified by Visa

Verified by Visa is a simple and secure way to pay at thousands of online retailers. It protects your card with a personal message and your own secret password and works as follows:

• Shop online as usual and visit the checkout 
• Enter your card details
• If the website uses Verified by Visa, a personal message will tell you that Bank of Cyprus UK is asking for your password
• Enter your password and click ‘submit’ to confirm your identity

You can register your card for Verified by Visa now by clicking here.

Verified by Visa conditions of use

Once you have activated your card, you will automatically be prompted to provide your password as part of the checkout process each time you make a purchase at a participating online retailer.
