How we protect your data
We have measures in place to protect our users’ data.
PCI compliance
PCI compliance is the single most important thing that small businesses can do to maximise the security of all their card transactions. The so-called Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) was established to help businesses reduce fraud and process card payments securely.
The way PCI compliance works is that it sets certain requirements for the storage, transmission and processing of cardholder data. All our transactions are PCI compliant.
