Purchase Authorization in the Station Store

Sai'nu · Purchase Authorization in the Station Store

To provide our customers with increased credit card security, Sony Online Entertainment will be partnering with Visa and MasterCard. In a few weeks, SOE will add Verified by Visa and MasterCard Secure to our Station Store purchase flow.

Q. How will this affect an SOE customer?

A. When adding new subscriptions, changing a subscription, or purchasing software from the Station Store, you, the customer, will be prompted to join Verified by Visa or MasterCard Secure. An application will pop up and prompt you to join the security program.

Q. How much does it cost to join Verified by Visa or MasterCard Secure?

A. It is completely free to join Visa and MasterCard's security for online purchases.

Q. Why should I give Sony Online Entertainment my personal information?

A. The information requested for these programs is not stored on any SOE servers. These programs are provided by Visa and MasterCard. Only Visa and MasterCard will retain the information you provide for your security.

When accessing the Verified by Visa and MasterCard sign up page, please enter all requested information. This is a secure site and only Visa or MasterCard will have your information. After you have signed up for the security program, you will need to login again to verify that the card has been secured.

Has anyone experienced any problems with this on the Euro end of things. Supposedly this went into effect on March 4th and there were some concerns about re-subbing.

This was the only thread I found about it generated by players:

SWG no more from 4th March for some?

Valara did seem to point out somewhere it wouldn't effect those with subscriptions already but it'd likely effect everyone the minute your card(s) get updated.
