Is my purchase secure?
Yes. Brand Finance Plc uses ‘Secure socket layer’ (SSL) technology to encrypt your personal details entered on our site to ensure your details are safe, both before your order is processed and when it is stored on our database (256 bit encryption).
As we use Stripe’s payment platform to accept and process all debit or credit card payments, your provided card data is never sent to our server. Instead, the data is sent directly to Stripe, which ensures the compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).
Stripe has been audited by an independent PCI Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) and is certified as a PCI Level 1 Service Provider. This is the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry.
Stripe also uses Verified by Visa (VbV) and Mastercard Secure Code (MSC), often referred to as 3-D Secure or Payment Authentication. Act like a Chip & Pin for your online purchases and protect you by asking for your secret password.
