Shoppers in the UK have been warned that new rules coming into place on March mean some cards could soon be declined at the checkout.
New changes are coming into place that will see cards declined if you can't prove the correct person is making the payment.
The changes will impact everyone who banks or makes purchases online as they will be subject to extra security checks in a bid to make transactions safer.

And if they can't verify the transaction is genuine - or the retailer is not set up to make the checks - the card payment may be declined, says Chronicle Live.
The changes are coming in under new Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) fraud-prevention rules, known as 'Strong Customer Authentication (SCA).
The idea behind the move is to create a new layer of security to protect shoppers and their money, but some banks have already warned their customers that card payments could be declined as some retailers may not be ready by March 14.
Late in January, First Direct told current account holders: ‘As we get closer to the regulatory date, the number of times you’ll notice you’re asked to verify it’s you making the payment will increase.
‘If the retailer isn’t ready for the new process, there could be times when your card might be declined.’
Here's everything you need to know about the new rules.
Why are the rules changing?
The new checks are aimed at clamping down on bank card fraud, where crooks go on a spending spree using stolendetails.
What exactly is changing?
From Monday, online retailers will be required to verify shoppers’ identities before authorising a payment.
