Safe online shopping

A new web tool for the acquisition of tickets and membership card activation has been recently added in our website.
The new platform allows all the members the highest security level while buying in Athletic Club’s website.

Therefore, the official website of Athletic Club has started to work with a more secure Virtual POS (Points-OF-Sale). Due to this new level of security, some members have troubles to activate their cards through Internet.

This is because there are some financial cards that are not ready to operate with that high level of security. It is necessary that these clients request a mechanism for the control of their identity for purchasing (a card of coordinates, sms to the mobile phone, etc.).

Athletic Club has chosen this level of security to avoid the use of stolen bank cards or duplicated cards. For example, during the tickets sale of the first match of the season at San Mamés against FC Barcelona, lots of fraudulent purchase attempts were detected.
