What is Online Secure?
Online Secure includes the services Visa secure (previously branded Verified by Visa) and eftpos Secure. It’s a service that provides increased protection from potential fraud when shopping online.
This service is free for NAB customers.
When you shop with a participating retailer, Visa Secure and eftpos Secure provide an additional layer of validation at the checkout to verify your identity. This validation helps protect against unauthorised use of your NAB Visa credit and debit cards.
You can still shop online with other retailers, but without this extra layer of security. To check whether you’re using Visa Secure or eftpos Secure look for their logo when online shopping.

How does Online Secure work?

This is how to make a purchase with Visa Secure and eftpos Secure:
- Make a purchase online with a participating retailer and proceed to the checkout.
- A ‘Payment Authorisation’ screen will appear to verify the card owner is making the purchase.
- You'll receive a security code to your registered mobile phone number to verify your identity.
- Enter the security code into the ‘Payment Authorisation’ screen following the prompts.
- If prompted, enter your Online Shopping ID (OSID).
- Authentication is complete if the verification is successful.
