One-Time Passcode

Never share your One-Time Passcode with anyone including Creation staff, in any circumstances, to keep your account safe.

If you receive an unexpected One-Time Passcode, it’s likely to be a scam – stop and challenge the transaction.

Freeze your card for online payments only

We’ve introduced the option to freeze your card for online payments only. This means you’ll still be able to use the card in-store. You’ll be able to find this option in your Creation Credit Card App and Online Account Manager.
