To ensure secure online shopping by our customers, we recommend enabling the online card payment feature only when necessary. There are several options to enable this feature: on the Internet Bank, mobile app, by calling +370 5 268 2800 or by visiting the SEB bank branch.
Moreover, by complying with the highest standards of customer funds protection, we use an effective protection system of payment cards that prevents many illegal card payments abroad and online.
