As part of the new Payment Services regulations (PSD2), you may be asked more often to verify a purchase when shopping online. These industry-wide changes mean that online retailers will need to ask us for extra security checks, to confirm that it's you, or your additional cardholder(s), making the purchase.

As well as entering a One Time Passcode, you will be asked to enter your home postcode to confirm your online purchase. This is so we can use behavioural biometric recognition technology to verify your identity. This is an important improvement in protecting you from fraud when shopping online.

Behavioural biometrics is a new type of check to help us verify your identify. It looks at ‘how’ you interact when using your device, for example the use of your keyboard, mouse and/or the way in which you hold your device.

Using this kind of technology allows us to recognise if someone really is who they claim to be when they interact online, or if the activity is potentially fraudulent. We’re introducing this as part our commitment to keep you safer when shopping online.

When we ask you to enter your home postcode along with a One Time Passcode on some online purchases, we’ll complete a behavioural biometric check. This will look at how you enter these details, so we can make sure it’s really you making that purchase and not a fraudster.

We’ve updated our Privacy policy to include the use of behavioural biometrics.
