Credit Card Payments

We have removed 3D secure for 2011, so we have the basic secure CC transaction. A standard and secure EFT facility will be available. This facility is called SID, which is a web-based payment service that allows customers to pay an online merchant directly from their bank accounts, via their Internet-banking facility. Payment is instantly debited from the account and the merchant is immediately notified that the payment has occurred. A credit card is not required.

Using the latest ClickOnce technology from Microsoft, SID makes online payment easy and secure.
Once you confirm the transaction, SID processes the payment. Both you and the merchant receive instant notification as to whether the transaction was successful. None of your personal information is shared with the merchant.
