Frequently asked questions
When paying online at a merchant that supports this service, you will be asked to authorize the payment.
Depending on which version of the 3D Secure protocol the merchant supports, you will be sent a free SMS message with a 3D Secure code or a request for payment authorization in the Tatra banka mobile application or Internet bankingTB.
Transaction authorization is unique with each payment and has limited validity.
After your authorization, Tatra banka will confirm to the merchant that you are authorized to make the payment and you can pay for the purchase. It is not possible for an unauthorized person to pay for the goods with your payment card.
A payment authorization request will only be made if the merchant supports the 3D Secure protocol. After entering the card details (card number, card validity and three-digit security code), you will be asked to authorize the transaction you will perform, depending on which version of the 3D Secure protocol the merchant supports. If the merchant does not support the 3D Secure protocol, the payment will be made without the need for authorization.
Due to the regulation of the European Banking Authority (EBA), when authorizing a transaction performed in the European Economic Area, the client must be authenticated with one or more elements / factors, from at least two categories:
| Category/factor | Elements that can be verified for payments in the Internet environment |
|---|---|
| Knowledge | Password, PIN, Answers to agreed specific questions, ... |
| Ownership | Tokens, Dynamic security codes, Mobile applications, Mobile phone client |
| Characteristics of the payment card holder | Biometric data: fingerprints, Face ID |
At first, find out if the merchant's website contains acceptance logos:
If not, the purchase is not necessary to be verified by 3D Scure code. The payment will be made by entering card details (card number, card validity and a three-digit security code).
Then, on the confirmation screen check the phone number to which the text message has been sent.
If the phone number is correct, please take into account that the text message takes couple of seconds to deliver. If you have been waiting for the text message for more than 5 minutes, in the confirmation window click on the option “Cancel” and in the e-shop request to pay once again.
If you don't receive the text message with the code even after that, contact DIALOG Live or pay with one-time card number generated by the Tatra banka application.

How can I generate one-time card number?
- Check, if your mobile phone has active internet access.
- From the list of your cards choose the one you want to pay with.
- Click on “Internet payment”.
- After PIN verification the application displays one-time card details that will be used to pay at the merchant.
