What online Security measures are in place?
When you arrive at the checkout, the RBS system passes your order details through a 128bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encrypted secure page, where you complete your order by providing your card details. When you type your card number and CCV number onto the page, it is in secure mode. This means that your browser encodes what you type, and the server decodes it. Anyone ‘listening’ to traffic en route can make no sense of the number. Every trading web site uses the SSL encryption system; you can tell you are in secure mode when a small padlock icon appears in the address bar of the screen.
