How secure is your information?

All of our customers' data resides in the same database. We use software best practices to guarantee that only people who you designate as viewers of your data can access it. In other words, we segment our customer data via software. We do our best and are very confident we're doing a good job at it, but, like every other web app that hosts their customers data on the same database, cannot guarantee that a sophisticated hacker cannot access other people's data

How are you protecting my data from hacker attacks?

All of our servers are highly physically secured at professionally maintained and protected data centers. We also have our own practices in place, which follow the industry's best practices. We keep our servers always up to date with security fixes, have one-click ways to take down servers should they become infected/compromised and to create and deploy new clean ones.

We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others rights, property or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising and other uses.

How safe are my details (e.g.. bank details) which I provide to PayFast ?

In short, very safe! payFast says this about their security: "Security is one of our top priorities and one of the areas where we feel a lot of merchants and existing payment processors are lacking. We make every effort to ensure the security of your details provided to us, and will continue to increase the security of the service we offer through the effective use of technology."

"With regards to bank details specifically, you are not required to give us your banking details ... Most users who pay for things online will probably never need to furnish their bank details."

Is PayFast secure ?

• Absolutely! And often more so than many other payment methods! PayFast is developed with the same demands on security and performance as web sites used for banking services and share trading.
• Your account login, personal details and all money transactions are secured using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology with high security 256 bit encryption.
• Your sensitive financial information (like credit/debit card details) is never sent to the people you pay ! So you can send money without sending your financial information! So you don't need to worry about paying people you don't know.
• We make use of 3D Secure to further enhance the security of credit card transactions on PayFast for all high value transactions.

Does PayFast use 3D Secure / Verified by Visa / MasterCard Securecode ?

Yes, we make use of 3D Secure for selected credit card transactions . We have taken a measured approach to the use of 3D Secure and generally don't use it for low-value transactions or where the fraud risk is low so as to not unnecessary impede such transactions. By default, we turn on 3D Secure for all transactions over R1,000.00 but may also make use of it for transactions of lesser value at our discretion.

What is 3D Secure / Verified by Visa / MasterCard Securecode ?

• 3D Secure is a technical standard created by Visa and MasterCard to further secure CNP (Card-holder Not Present) transactions over the Internet.
• 3D Secure protects your credit card against unauthorised use when you shop online. This simple service enables you to validate transactions you make over the internet by requesting a personal code (usually sent to your cell phone or email address as a one time PIN). It helps protect your account from fraudulent use by unauthorised individuals.
• 3D Secure is an extra layer of security in using your credit card for online transactions. For certain online transactions you'll be asked to enter your 3D Secure password (different from the PIN), which is called Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode by the respective credit card companies.
• You have to register for 3D Secure with your card issuing bank , and can be set up either as a password of your choice or a one-time-password that will be sent to you by email/SMS.
• payFast have taken a measured approach to the use of 3D Secure and generally don't use it for low-value transactions or where the fraud risk is low so as to not unnecessary impede such transactions.
• By default, payFast turn on 3D Secure for all transactions over R1,000.00 but may also make use of it for transactions of lesser value at our discretion.
