What is 3D Secure?

At Fonez we want to ensure that your online purchases are as secure as possible so we use SagePay 3D Secure payment gateway. 3D Secure is a free and automatic online security service that has been created to help guard your credit/debit card details against unauthorised use online. 3D Secure works by creating a password that acts as a unique online identifier. You then use your 3D Secure password to validate transactions on our online store. This helps protect you from unauthorised use when spending online. You can find out more information on 3D Secure for your bank below:

Please download the authenticator app relative to your bank which can be found on either the App Store or play store.
