Mastercard purchases abroad and online

Mastercard® cards

Erste Card Club's Mastercard cards are accepted at more than 40 million points of sale worldwide bearing Mastercard card acceptance label. All Mastercard cards are accepted online in all shops bearing the Mastercard brand.

Erste Card Club's Mastercard Cards also support safer online shopping for merchants participating in the Mastercard® Identity Check program. At Mastercard® Identity Check points of sale, additional verification of the user's identity is performed when confirming the purchase. When confirming the purchase, the Mastercard user confirms their identity using their personal password.

In this way, the exchange of classified information (password) is carried out exclusively between the card user and the Erste Card Club, whereby the merchant does not have insight into the data being exchanged.
