Does SecureHosting handle the actual money from my payments?
No! It is important for us to make the distinction between your merchant acquiring bank and us. We act as a payment gateway, transmitting data securely between your web site and your acquiring bank. We never have access to the actual funds from your transactions, only your merchant acquiring bank has this. Merchants often get confused on this issue, as they think of us as being like PayPal or WorldPay. We are quite different from PayPal and WorldPay as, unlike them, we never touch your actual funds.
