Bank of Scotland Secure

Giving you complete confidence and peace of mind when shopping online.

We have joined the global Verified by Visa scheme, a service that ensures that only you can use your debit card to make purchases online.

How it works
When shopping at a participating retailer online you will be prompted to enter your Bank of Scotland Secure password on a safe and secure screen before completing your transaction. Just like the PIN for your card, only you will know this password, so only you will be able to authorise your online purchases.

After 3 prompts, if you do not register your password you won't be able to shop at participating retailers' sites. It is important that you pre-register a password for your debit card now, or follow the prompt to register while shopping online in order to complete an online purchase.

Bank of Scotland Secure is free – this service does not require you to request a new card or download any software. If you don't register here, participating retailers may ask you to register your card whilst completing your purchase.
