Security

All online credit card transactions are processed by Virtual Card Services (VCS), a certified ‘Verified by Visa’ and ‘Securecode’ enabled payment gateway. The company protects the security of information during transmission by using 128 bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information supplied by the cardholder. Encryption complies with international standards.

VCS servers are protected by firewalls and intrusion detection systems. The company registration documents and the site’s registered domain name are checked and verified by Thawte. Credit card details are not stored on this site.
