NCB Jamaica adds online shopping passcode to shield against digital fraud

National Commercial Bank Jamaica Limited is rolling out one-time passcode authentication for select online card transactions, the bank announced March 12 as Jamaica’s largest financial institution moves to harden its digital payments infrastructure against a rising tide of card fraud. The system sends a six-digit code to a customer’s registered email or mobile number at checkout when the bank’s real-time monitoring flags a transaction as requiring additional verification. Most routine purchases will pass through without interruption.
