How to activate MasterCard for online transactions

May 8, 2023 by Akeem

Online transactions have been on the rapid rise in the past decade, with the emphasis being laid on a cashless economy. Furthermore, projections have shown that in the not too distant future, the amount of paper money used could be little or nonexistent. This is largely due to the wide use of two major banking facilities, which are credit and debit cards. In Nigeria, these cards largely come as either MasterCard or Verve. However, our focus is on MasterCard, precisely how to activate MasterCard for online transactions.

What are the types of MasterCard?

MasterCards could simply be either credit cards or debit cards. Therefore, the term MasterCard simply refers to the facility provider. More importantly, it is either designed for credit or debit functions. Also, the process of activating a credit MasterCard actually differs from that of a debit. We would discuss the different processes later in the article.

How do I activate a master card for online transactions?

Just as earlier said, the process of activating a debit and credit MasterCard for online transactions actually differs. Firstly, there is mostly no need to activate a debit card as recent ones are already activated before distribution. However, this only started recently as it wasn’t always so before. In all, when you go to collect your new debit MasterCard, it’s almost certainly already activated.

On the flip side, you have to activate a credit MasterCard, and you can do that by following the process below:

  1. Firstly, you need an online account with your card provider. If you do not have one, you can simply register at any of their outlets
  2. Next, log in to your account for your card provider and scroll to the new credit card option under accounts
  3. Supply your credit card information as requested on the site. This includes your card’s CVC/CVV, expiration date, and number.
  4. Lastly, verify your ID by supplying the correct answers to the security questions the system would ask
