Feel confident when you pay with Visa

Whatever you’re paying for and wherever you’re paying - locally or abroad - paying with Visa means you’re paying securely.

There are many convenient ways to use your Visa card, and however you choose to pay, you will always get the same level of protection. Save your card details with your favourite websites, or add them safely to your phone for online payments. Pay for monthly entertainment subscriptions, or pay with contactless while you’re out and about.

 

Protect yourself against fraud and scams

Card fraud is thankfully rare, but it is possible for your card details to be stolen, or a business you buy from to be hacked. When you pay with Visa, your details are protected and you could get your money back if your card is used fraudulently or a scam leaves you out of pocket.


Know your rights when a purchase goes wrong

When you’re feeling let down and left out of pocket by a purchase, there are ways you could get your money back. If the seller won’t help, you can dispute the purchase. We can help you find out when you can do this, and what to do next.
