Your SecureCode is a private code that you set up – known only to you – which protects you against unauthorized use of your card when shopping at participating online merchants.

Once you’ve registered, every time you make online purchases at participating merchants you’ll be automatically prompted to enter your own private SecureCode – just like entering a PIN at the ATM. Within seconds, your identity is confirmed and your transaction can then be processed.

Getting more online security is quick and easy.

Beginning in November, you’ll need to enter your SecureCode during checkout every time you make a purchase with your Capital One MasterCard card at any SecureCode-enabled merchant. Choosing your own SecureCode is quick and easy – you’ll be prompted by Capital One to create your own SecureCode during checkout. When this happens, a window will appear and you’ll be guided through a simple SecureCode enrollment process before your purchase is completed. Once you’ve completed this process, you will be able to complete making your online purchase.
