Safe online shopping with the Visa CodeSure card

Card giant Visa has launched a hich-tech bank card to make online payments more secure and to reduce fraud on the Internet. The card looks exactly the same as a standard credit or debit card, but has a LCD screen above the signature strip and a built-in keypad; also a battery is embedded in each card. When purchasing online, users first have to input their card number;  they then have to enter their pin, at which a unique one-time-passcode will appear on the display, this passcode will be used to authenticate the payment. Visa CodeSure is expected to be adopted by banks and soon, it will also be rolled out to customers across the UK.
