For secure shopping online
When you’re shopping online, we may need to confirm that it’s really you using your card.
This is an extra layer of security called Strong Customer Authentication (SCA for short) and makes online shopping even more secure. We will do this by using the EBS CardManager App.
When you’re shopping online and we need to confirm it’s you using the card, we will ask you to check your mobile phone. We’ll send a message through the EBS CardManager app (this is called a notification) and in a few taps you can confirm your purchase.
Finally, you will be asked to return to the online shopping site, to confirm your purchase has gone through.
