Security is our key concern, the security of the transaction,
the funds and the personal details of customers.
We use 128 bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer protocol) encryption, the highest
commercial encryption level available, as well as a variety of other security
procedures to prevent abuse and misuse of data and other security issues.
The closed padlock sign at the bottom of the screen shows that your details are protected when being sent.
Our servers sit behind an electronic 'Firewall', making direct
access to them possible only for authorised systems, further increasing internet
security.
Online shopping is actually considered
fairly low-risk. In a recent article CNN stated, "
.online
credit card use is actually no riskier for consumers
than traditional "low-tech" transactions
..".
You should feel as safe in making online
transactions as you would using your credit/debit
card in a high street store or restaurant, if not
more so.
NetPayments holds a number of security
and service-related certificates, accreditations and
registrations, including: Data Protection, BT Trustwise
and APACS (Association of Payment And Clearing Services).
We have designed, developed
and implemented a robust security strategy, encompassing
hardware and software protection for online trading. We
continually assess and improve upon
security measures as part of our ongoing product refinement
and pass these improvements on to our business clients
as part of our service.
