Online Security

We use a SSL (secure sockets layer) online ordering system, so you can shop with TEAL in the knowledge that your credit card details are totally secure. We do not store credit card details so there is no “residual” risk associated with ordering from us.

Your credit card transactions are processed by the TRUST payments system which means that your credit card details are fully encrypted using the most sophisticated e-payment software.

During the final part of the checkout process (“the payment part”) you will be taken to our secure payment page on TRUST Payments Servers, the URL of page will begin with https:// – this means that the page is hosted on a secure server and that all transactions taking place are encrypted, so your card details are protected.

TRUST Payments online payment system is the most sophisticated available. All financial transactions are processed securely behind protected firewalls, allowing TRUST Payments to safely process your card payment with the bank. Financial details are never left unencrypted on any part of our system and are never sent by Internet email.

MasterCard SecureCode is a new service from MasterCard and your card issuer that provides added protection when you buy online. There is no need to get a new MasterCard or Maestro card. You choose your own personal MasterCard SecureCode™ and it is never shared with any merchant. A private code means added protection against unauthorized use of your credit or debit card when you shop online.

Every time you pay online with your MasterCard or Maestro card, a box pops up from your card issuer asking you for your personal SecureCode, just like the bank does at the ATM. In seconds, your card issuer confirms it’s you and allows your purchase to be completed.
