Increased security when purchasing tickets

ÖBB is using the 3-D Secure method for online and mobile ticketing.

PIN code entry when purchasing at ticket machines

When paying with MasterCard, VISA, American Express or DinersClub, you will have to enter the 4-digit PIN code. Respective notifications in German and English will be shown on the ticket machines. Debit card payments already require the entry of the PIN code. When paying with credit card at the ÖBB ticket counters or in the ÖBB travel agency, you will be asked to confirm the purchase with your signature or PIN code.
