# Does Halocard support 3D Secure (Verified by Visa)?

Yes, Halocard supports 3D Secure (3DS) authentication, sometimes referred to as Verified by Visa (VbV), as an additional security measure for payment verification.

When a 3D Secure code is requested by an merchant to verify an online purchase, you will receive an SMS or Email with your one-time, 3DS code to complete the transaction.

**Please note:** Halocard **does not control** when a merchant requests a 3D code for a purchase, we simply pass the code through to you when required.
