Service E-Secure for Bank Cards
Тест
The E-Secure service (Secure payments by internet) represents a method of additional protection when shopping with your debit or credit card by internet. By using this service your purchases in Internet will be really safe. The registration and use of E-Secure is completely free.
The E-Secure service is operated jointly with the Visa and Mastercard card organisations, and the service is titled differently by the two organisations:
- Mastercard Identity Check/Mastercard SecureCode for Mastercard;
- Visa Secure/Verified by Visa or VbV for Visa.
The service uses the 3-D Secure protocol, as an additional level of security for online credit and debit card transactions. The E-Secure service includes a two-factor model for cardholder authentication by combining two separate components, a dynamic password and a static password for online payments, which are entered by the authorised user to confirm bank card payment transactions;
Static password
The static password is generated personally by the authorised cardholder at a secured by BORICA AD client web portal with the logo of CCB AD (Central Cooperative Bank AD) – https://3ds.borica.bg/CCB which is used together with a dynamic password for confirmation of card transactions for Internet merchants participating in the following programs: Visa Secure (former name Verified by Visa) and Mastercard Identity (ID) Check (former name Mastercard SecureCode).
For newly issued cards the clients shall receive their temporary passwords in the PIN envelope together with the PIN code of the card. This password has not validity date and can be used for making payments. We would recommend you to change it at https://3ds.borica.bg/CCB.
On receiving a renewed card, please, consider the following:
When the text is fully loaded after the date, it is displayed:
3-D Secure registration Protect your card online. Your card is registered in the 3D-Secure program by 3ds.borica.bg. On loading the link https://3ds.borica.bg/CCB a page with the logo of the Bank is opened on which the client is to enter the full number of the card.
You can find detailed instructions about changing of the temporary password received from 1909 here. Please, note that as of 27 November 2020, the new static password has to be composed of a minimum of 6 characters - letters, numbers and special characters (optional from: _ - % @ & * \ . # , / ? !), as it is permissible the symbols to be of one type, for example only numbers.
We would like to inform you that currently YOU CANNOT USE SPECIAL SYMBOLS SUCH AS: $ + = €, as well as a sequence of numbers/letters (1234, abcd….) or a combination of identical numbers/letters (1111, ааааа…..). We will inform you additionally for any changes which may occur. The static password can be changed by the cardholder at any time at the client portal.
Dynamic (one-time) password
Dynamic (one-time) password is the method for online verification of the payment with credit/debit card for the Visa Secure (former name Verified by Visa) and Mastercard Identity Check (former name Mastercard SecureCode) programs which protect your card from unauthorised use. The one-time password is a six-digit password sent to your mobile phone when you are trying to make an online purchase from a website which maintains Verified by Visa and Mastercard SecureCode. You shall receive a one-time password within ten seconds after sending your card details to the website of the merchant. It is valid for one transaction only.
It is received from short number 184343 and is entered in the field on the web page provided for this purpose in the field dynamic password, on which the payment is made and where there are visualised the name of the merchant, the amount of the payment, the last four numbers of the card and the last four numbers of your mobile phone.
It is possible the cardholders who did not provide their current mobile phone number to the bank to have difficulties when making online purchases. In the event of an unsuccessful payment by internet, please, make sure that your phone number with us is updated.
