Could be US bank has 3D Secure or that you purchased your tkt before they changed to demanding the CC be 3D Secure
They had 3D Secure in place when I purchased, late June 2016. And I stand corrected, it was not a US Bank card, I used a Chase VISA.
3D Secure is what is branded in the US as "Verified by Visa" or "MasterCard SecureCode" [
Wikipedia ref or
NSB ref]. If you ask your US-based bank if they participate in 3D Secure they will have no idea. Ask about "verified by Visa" and they will. What helps you get through these systems is to log in to your US online account in advance. Do this:
1. Log in to your Chase (or whatever bank) account
2. Open another window or tab in the same browser (do not use private browsing, and do not close your other window)
3. In the new window, go to nsb.no and purchase the ticket. Verified by Visa / MasterCard SecureCode will kick in and will likely resolve favorably. If it prompts you for additional info, just follow along.
