To protect you from unauthorised use of your card, we employ a number of identity verification techniques. It’s important we are verifying the correct details, so please ensure the address your card issuer holds for your account matches the details we have for you
Check that your card has not expired and that you input your card number correctly
Check that you’ve selected the correct card type and that it is a card type we accept (e.g. MasterCard, Visa etc)
Your payment request may have been declined by your card issuer; it is worth checking this with them at your earliest convenience
In certain instances, your card issuer may not permit your particular card to be used when you are not physically present. Unfortunately, this card type will not be accepted on ours or any online site
Many card issuers are now adopting Verified by Visa and MasterCard Securecode Internet verification systems. Your card issuer may be one of them.
You may already be enrolled in the above scheme, having previously registered. Please ensure you are entering the correct details when prompted.
