The
Internet is perfectly adapted to the use of credit cards. It is now possible
to pay on line over the Internet, without a pin number, and with a level of
security and confidentiality superior to the classic means of payment. You
can pay from any computer linked to the web and without the need for
specific equipment or software.
As
you can see below, inputting your banking information is done over a secured
server from an on-line payment centre and not on the retailer's site. This
guarantees your security.
How it Works
Techniques
such as SSL (Secure Socket Layer) make possible highly effective encryption
of sensitive data such as credit card numbers. When paying on line, SSL
encrypts the number and the expiry date of a credit card after they are
keyed in through the buyer's keyboard.
