Protect your Visa card online with a personal password

Due to increased risk of internet fraud, all the VISA credit cards have to be protected with an online password until the date of 04-30-2005. If you do not complete the registration process you will not be able to make online purchases after the date of May 1st 2005. We apologize for the inconvenience that this might cause, this is an attempt to secure the online shopping and reduce the internet credit card fraud.
