Credit Card Security.

We know of no documented cases of credit card fraud using our shopping system over the Internet.
They are not held in clear text on any web Site.

We do not store your card details on our servers. When you register online using your credit card, we simply pass the details you supply to one of our payment service providers over an dedicated 256 bit encrypted channel. The payment service providers we use are regularly audited by Visa and Mastercard to ensure that they meet strict security standards.

If you supply credit card details on a postal application form, these are securely disposed of once payment has been taken.

3D Secure Verification.

Some transactions* may also use ‘MasterCard SecureCode’ or ‘Verified by Visa’ secure authentication. These systems (collectively known as ‘3D Secure’) use personal passwords or identity information to further protect card users against unauthorized use. (*Dependant on participating bank and payment service provider)

Shopping cart.

The cart we use is very secure.
It uses a very high level of security to code your order, so that only we can read it. Your credit card details are processed on Papal's secure web site, and your browser will show a padlock symbol to show that the site is secure when your credit card details are being taken.
