The 3D Secure feature works by enabling the two-factor authentication that will be used for making purchases with credit and debit cards.
In its announcement, the company has also given out directions, by following which, a consumer can procure Bitcoin easily. The directions read: “To get started, sign in and visit the payments method page. Click “Add Credit / Debit Card” to add your card. Once you have added an eligible card, you will be able to select this payment method from the buy page to instantly purchase Bitcoin in GBP or EUR.
