NatWest Secure is a service offered by NatWest in partnership with both Visa International and MasterCard® International. NatWest Secure provides a way to password-protect credit card usage on the Internet. Simply register your credit card and choose a password. Your password is required when you use your card to make Internet purchases at participating merchants. The requirement of your password prevents unauthorised usage of your card on the Internet, giving you more confidence about making secure purchases online.

As a NatWest cardholder, NatWest offer you the ability to activate NatWest Secure when you shop at participating merchants. The activation process is simple and quick - all you have to do is enter a few identifying pieces of information, and select the personal password you will be using in your future purchases. Please make sure you read and agree to the terms of use, as activating the service indicates you have done so. Note that you may not be offered to activate the service online if you had already registered your card to the service in the past.

When you activate NatWest Secure during shopping, you receive a pre-assigned login name and Personal Message. When you personalise your account you can select a different login name and personal message.

When you activate NatWest Secure during shopping, a pre-assigned login name that NatWest had selected for you is displayed. The login name is based on your first and last name. You will need this login name in your future purchases, and also in order to access your personal account manager. After activating NatWest Secure you receive an email message with a link. You can use this link to go online and change your login name.

When you activate NatWest Secure during shopping, a pre-assigned Personal Message that NatWest Secure had selected for you is displayed.

Please note that your personal message must not be similar to your password.
