New services from Tokuda Bank to ensure higher security of card payments

Confirmation of online payments with biometric data

Tokuda Bank implements a new service for biometric authentication through a smart device to ensure higher security of online payments.

With this new service every holder of a credit and/or debit card, issued by Tokuda Bank, will be able to confirm online transactions without the need to memorize and use additional static or dynamic passwords. 

Biometric data – such as fingerprints, face shape, etc. – are unique for every person, which makes them extremely suitable means for identity verification. Therefore the biometric authentication is currently the most secure method for online shopping, which makes online payments safer than ever before. 

Each holder of Mastercard or Maestro card, issued by Tokuda Bank, who wants to use the new service for faster and safer online payments, will be able to download the application B-Trust of Biorica AD to a smart device and register the card for payments with biometric data.

More information and details on how to activate the service and download the app for mobile banking are available at the official site of Tokuda Bank www.tokudabank.bg.

SMS notifications for authorizations of card payments

As a holder of a debit and/or credit card Maestro and Mastercard, issued by Tokuda Bank, clients will receive a short message at a mobile device immediately after each online authorization. Clients will be able to monitor the payments and receive information in case of unauthorized transaction.

*Authorization of card payments is the permission, which the bank –  issuer of the card (or third party authorized by the bank) grants for execution of the respective card transaction.
