How safe is credit card payment over the Internet?
The two things you might be concerned about is privacy of information and credit card number security. It is best to look at this from the primary components involved in an internet credit card transaction: – your own machine: we don’t recommend making purchases from public machines such as those in cybercafes or libraries, as you cannot be sure of installed snooping software (these might log your key-strokes of everything you type into a web site) – the internet connection: we use SSL security, which is the highest level available today internationally (up to 128 bit depending on what your browser supports), so all your details will transfer between your computer and the web-site encrypted, making this very secure – the credit card processor / banking organisation: we process your transactions manually just like any shop, so there is nothing to worry about here – the merchant / supplier: again, we are just like any shop that you might purchase goods through your credit card with.
