Security Tips

Security tips when using payD

1. Make sure you are dealing with a legitimate e-commerce site operated by a reputable merchant
   1. Is the website secure? Look at the Web address. It should start with https:// and there should be a ‘closed padlock’ symbol in the browser window (usually the top or bottom left corner).
   2. Only do business with companies that you are familiar with
   3. If the company is unfamiliar to you then do your homework before buying its products.
2. Never enter your PIN into your mobile phone unless you have initiated a payD transaction and have been prompted to do so by a message from payD. (It will be within a few seconds of initiating the transaction on your part. Do not enter the PIN if a request comes hours later.)
3. Make sure that the last four digits of your card number are displayed in the message from payD.
4. Make sure the transaction amount is correct.
5. Make sure the merchant name is correct.
6. Make sure no one is watching you.
7. Never enter your PIN on someone else’s phone.
