How can I register for the 3-D Secure process?

With the 3-D Secure process, you can confirm online purchases via mobile phone – most easily with the UBS Access App. Please indicate whether you have a credit card (or a partner card) with or without a UBS account.

Registering without a UBS account (e.g., with a partner or corporate card)

You can confirm online purchases with the UBS Access App or via text message code even if you don't have a UBS account. To do so, you’ll require access to Digital Banking in your name. This is generated automatically when you register for the new 3-D Secure process. Using Digital Banking to manage your card is optional and free of charge.

Why do I need UBS Digital Banking for 3-D Secure?
