Credit Card security is getting bumped up a notch at SOE with the addition of the Verified Service from Visa and Mastercard. Aaron "Gnobrin" Bisnett shared with the community what this will mean for the subscribers:

Q. How will this affect our 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.
