I use my Visa Debit to purchase a lot of things online. Normally, for merchants that use "Verified by Visa", I have to enter a couple of digits of a personal password to continue with purchases. That's been the case for years.
But now, AIB, from this October, are removing the password facility and instead you get a text to your mobile with a passcode. You therefore have to have your valid mobile number stored with AIB and if you don't have your phone on you, you can't purchase online with your debit card.
(If you have no mobile phone they say to ring customer services, presumably on a case by case basis for a passcode?)
Views? I'm not happy. I don't want to have to interact with my mobile when purchasing stuff online, the password was more efficient.
