How do you protect my information?
To ensure that your card details remain secure, you will only be able to make online payments if 2048-bit encryption is supported by your browser.
Internet browsers support Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, which is an industry standard for Internet payments. This means all of your personal and card details are protected using 2048-bit encryption when your details are transmitted over the Internet. This makes it virtually impossible for anyone else to discover and use your details.
