If you have a First Tech VISA credit or check card, it just got a big upgrade when it comes to online security. Verified by VISA is a program that not only protects your online purchases, it protects your identity and credit.
First Tech members buying things online can now use the Verified by VISA service at participating online merchants. It's a way for you to add extra security to your First Tech VISA or debit card. Even if an identity thief gets a hold of your VISA number and expiration date, they may not be able to buy anything online at participating retailors. Sure, you're covered if your card is lost or stolen, but this is a way to help prevent unauthorized purchases before they even happen.
Saving your credit in the long run To make your First Tech card fully Verified by VISA, all you have to do is activate your card with Verified by VISA . Follow the instructions VISA has put together for First Tech members, and your card will be Verified by VISA all over the Internet.
Now anytime you buy something online at participating merchants, you'll be asked for your VISA password before the transaction can go through. Just don't write your Verified by VISA number down on paper anywhere other than in your personal files at home and your VISA will be a lot safer.
