SECURITY & PAYMENTS

We realise how important it is to securely store any information that you provide. This site uses PayPal payment processing which provides the optimum level of security Card and account details are captured on secure servers, keeping abreast of the latest payment or anti-fraud developments. Our shoppers are protected from fraudulent use of their card in a “card not present” environment, by their card issuers. All of the payment processing systems support the verification of Address and Security Code information. This verification service is supported by the Card Schemes (such as Visa, MasterCard). Verification is done in partnership with UK banks and card issuers, who actually do the checking of the credit/debit cards used by shoppers. These verification services operate in the UK. Outside of the UK, where other checking solutions are used, PayPal (and its banking partners) always try to include the verification information within the details of an authorised transaction
