Worldpay - Secure credit card facility
Many players have worries about the safety of credit card transactions that are made online. We use a system developed by Worldpay, the second largest internet payment-system provider, in conjunction with Natwest bank. Here are two excerpts from the Worldpay questions and answers page of their website www.worldpay.com.
"How secure is WorldPay?
"WorldPay uses state of the art security tools and techniques, both proprietary and unique, to ensure that you and your shopper are protected against what is nowadays a virtually non-existent risk. Our systems also have inbuilt system redundancy and fault tolerance, to provide you with a virtually uninterrupted service 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our systems have evolved over many years and throughout our history we have continuously sought and gained bank approval for our systems.
"If the shopper keys in their card details at home or in the office, surely they are not encrypted until after they arrive at the WorldPay system?
"Using industry standard SSL, Thawte and WorldPay unique encryption systems, this is not actually the case. When the shopper fills in the payment form and clicks the submit button, their details are not sent straight away. What actually happens is that a secure link is set up between the shopper's browser and WorldPay and an encryption code is requested and received, which then wraps the order and transaction details before leaving the shoppers premises."
