Extra Measures Taken with Online Purchases

There are a few websites that ask for a secure code when Shazam debit card holders are trying to make a purchase online. This is an extra security measure to insure it is the actual cardholder that is making the purchase. If you have a Reliabank Shazam ATM/Debit Card, to receive a secure code, you need to log on to www.shazam.net/securecode (you can also click here to read more information on this process) and enter your 16 digit card number. You will then begin the registration process. It will ask you some personal information, so if someone got a hold of your card they would not be able to use it.
If you have any questions on this matter please contact any of our Reliabank CSR's.
