### How to pay for online purchases?

To complete an online card payment, two steps of verification are required:

1. **OTP (One-Time Password)** – You’ll receive a one-time SMS code to confirm the transaction.
2. **3DS Static Password** – After entering the SMS code, enter the static password you created during card setup.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The static password cannot be disabled.
{% endhint %}

Both steps are required to complete online purchases.

{% hint style="info" %}
