Cards

When you are issued a new card, you must provide your mobile phone number to which your will be receiving one-time authentication passwords in person at an SKB d.d. outlet or via the electronic bank.

One of the main advantages of 3-D Secure is that it can be used on any computer with an Internet connection and a web browser without any additional installation or setup. When making online purchases on public computers, you need to pay special attention to security and privacy, as they are often targeted by cybercriminals who are after your payment card information.

If the one-time password entered is incorrect, the system requests a re-entry. If you enter the password incorrectly more than three times, the transaction is interrupted and the entire process must be repeated.

If the mobile phone number that the Bank has on record for you is incorrect or if the Bank does not have a mobile number on record at all, you should stop the transaction. In this case, you must provide your mobile phone number in person at an SKB outlet or via the electronic bank.

At the online point of sale that allows the use of 3D-Secure, select »Payment card« as the payment method and enter the required card information. After confirming the entered data, you will receive a request to confirm your online purchase on your mobile phone. If you have disabled the receipt of automatic push messages on your mobile phone, look for a confirmation request in MOJ@SKB mobile bank in the menu bar »Confirm online payment«. After confirming the request, the purchase will be completed successfully.

You can use the 3-D Secure service for all your purchases with online retailers that support 3-D Secure. You can easily recognize these retailers by the 3-D Secure logo.

Individual activation of the service is not required, nor is the installation of additional new hardware and software required. All you have to do is make a purchase with a payment point in an online store that supports 3-D Secure and is marked with the Verified by Visa and MasterCard® SecureCode ™ logos.

The 3-D Secure service brings online purchases with cards a higher level of security, as each purchase verifies the authenticity of the cardholder, using two of the three elements that prove that the payer is the real holder of the payment card. It’s a combination of what we have, of what we are and what we know.

The use of the 3-D Secure service is free of charge for all SKB cardholders.

The 3D-Secure service can be used by any SKB Visa and Mastercard card holder.

• Don’t worry! You can use your contactless card without fear of walking past a POS terminal with your card in your pocket and unknowingly make a payment. A POS terminal does not detect a card that is in your pocket.
• If you approach a POS with a wallet containing several contactless cards, the POS declines the payment. You must bring the card closer to a POS terminal without any other cards.

One of the features that are common to all credit cards is the billing period in which the client makes purchases with the card, followed by the automatic payment of the credit card bill for the said billing period on the agreed payment due date (8th, 18th or 28th of the month) or the first following business day. At the end of the billing period (usually 11 days before the agreed payment due date), a statement and (internal) direct debit with the total amount of payments (credit card bill amount) are prepared.

If the client executes an early repayment after the billing period has ended, the following happens:

• your used card limit will be released in the amount of the repayment at the latest on the following business day, which you will also be notified of with a pop-up window. .
  
  

• On the payment due date, a direct debit to your personal account is made for the credit card bill amount,

• as a result, the client will have an overpayment amount on the card account corresponding to the amount of the early repayment. You will also be notified of this in a pop-up window notification that appears between the time the statement is being prepared and the debit date.
  
  

This does not occur during the billing period, as the statement and direct debit for the amount spent with the credit card have not yet been prepared. An overpayment cannot occur if the client pays only the difference between the spending amount and the credit card bill amount after the end of the billing period.
