Trade 1st Accepted Payments
We offer two main methods of online payment;
1. We accept Credit or Debit card payments. These include Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, Solo and Visa Electron.
2. We accept payments via PayPal.
If you are concerned about passing your payment details online, the Trade 1st site and both HSBC Secure Payments and PayPal payment systems are fully encrypted which ensures total security.
Once you have entered your billing address and delivery details at the checkout, these are encrypted and fully secure, you will be offered either HSBC Secure Payments for card payments OR PayPal both options use fully secure encrypted websites to enter your payment details. Authorisation of your transaction is decided in seconds while you are online.
No one else can see your payment details, not even ourselves. We are simply instructed by HSBC or PayPal that payment has been approved.
You will finally be sent a confirmation e-mail. All orders are then dispatched with a paid invoice for your records.
For customers with 'Mastercard SecureCode' and 'Verified by Visa'
The HSBC Secure Payments system also incorporates for MasterCard "MasterCard SecureCode" and Visa "Verified by Visa" security systems. When you enter your card details, a pop-up box will appear from your bank asking you for your password. If you do not enter the correct password, no authorisation will be given for your purchase, making credit card fraud virtually impossible.
Please note: Although we believe that this system greatly improves the security of your credit cards, you are still able to order from us in the same way as before without signing up to these programs. However, we do believe that this is a great way to protect your credit cards from fraudulent abuse.
All data carried out on the Trade 1st website are 128-bit SSL encrypted for your security. We use both Pay Pal and HSBC Secure Payments system, to ensure that all payments are made securely, and to verify the credit/debit card information supplied.
These measures will keep your payment information completely safe, so buy with confidence!
