We take card payment security very seriously indeed, so we've chosen Sage Pay as our payment service provider, who will handle your card payment on our behalf.

When you place an order with us online, we don't even get access to your card details. During our checkout process you will be temporarily tranferred to Sage Pay's website to supply your card details securely to them.

In the case of telephone orders, we access Sage Pay's secure website so we can input your card details directly into their systems. We securely destroy your credit/debit card details as soon as practically possible afterwards.

Sage, one of the UK's most trusted business brands, has recently rebranded its payment gateway as Sage Pay (it was previously called Protx). Sage Pay offers its 25,000+ business customers a secure payment service for the 4 billion transactions it undertakes on their behalf each year.

Sage Pay is audited annually under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) and is a fully approved Level 1 payment services provider, which is the highest level of compliance. Sage Pay are also active members of the PCI Security Standards Council (SSC) that defines card industry global regulation.

Sage Pay has multiple private links into the banking network that are completely separate from the Internet and which do not cross any publicly accessible networks. Any cardholder information sent to the banks and any authorisation message coming back is secure and cannot be tampered with.

For these reasons, you can be very confident your card details will be kept completely secure when shopping with us.
