How can I be sure my card details are safe with Peach Payments?

What security measures do merchants take? 

1. SSL Certificate

This makes sure that the information transmitted from your browser to the website is encrypted and secured when being sent over the internet. An eCommerce merchant would install this on their platform (website / app ) to help ensure the security of your information.

How to see if a website / app has an SSL security certificate installed :

- HTTPS:// rather than HTTP:// at the beginning of the website link/address
- Padlock icon at the beginning of the URL

2. 3D Secure processing

This makes sure that your bank notifies to verify a transaction, by sending you a One Time Pin (OTP) when you enter your card details and confirm payment for an order or service.

This 3D Secure process is how your bank (issuing bank, eg. ABSA, FNB, Nedbank, Standard Bank etc) lets the website know that you are the owner of the card or account.

3. Protection of Personal Information (POPI)
