Mastercard® Identity Check™ and Visa® Secure is an extra layer of security that helps prevent unauthorized use of your debit card and minimizes the risk of fraudulent transactions. It adds an additional step during the checkout process, requiring you to verify your identity before completing an online purchase.
Here's what you can expect when making an online purchase using your Central Bank Illinois debit card:
- Shop Online: Browse and select the items you wish to purchase from your favorite online store.
- Identity Verification: You may be redirected to a secure page with Shazam's logo after entering your card details. You'll need to complete an additional step to verify your identity here.
- One-Time Passcode: You may receive a one-time code through text message.
- Authentication: Enter the one-time passcode, as requested. This step confirms that you are the rightful cardholder and authorizes the transaction. If three (3) consecutive invalid One-Time Passcodes are entered into the checkout screen, your transaction will be blocked. You must contact Central Bank Illinois during business hours to unblock your transaction.
- Complete Purchase: Once you have entered a valid one-time passcode and verified your identity, you can complete your online purchase.
A few important reminders:
- If your transaction is blocked, this does not mean your card is blocked; you can still use your card for other purchases.
- To unblock your transaction, you will need to notify Central Bank Illinois Debit Card Department during business hours to verify your identity.
- Not every transaction will require a One-Time Passcode.
- The One-Time Passcode will be sent to your cell phone number on file. If this has changed recently, please get in touch with your local branch to update your information.
If you have any questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Card Services Department at (309) 944-1689.
