TRANSACTION SECURITY

  • TAXCODE SA uses in its website the encryption protocol SSL, TLS 1.2, for safe data transportation.
  • All payments by debit or credit card are made through the digital platform e-Commerce by Alpha Bank or through PayPal.

    e-Commerce Alpha Bank

    Alpha Bank offers Alpha e-Commerce service, in accordance with up-to-date security standards (Verified by Visa, MasterCard Secure Code, e-mail alerts):

    Card data (card number, CVV2, expiration date etc.), is transmitted over the Internet in an encrypted format (SSL 128-bit encryption) and is not accessible through TAXCODE SA.

    All systems and procedures used by Alpha Bank block any third party from accessing the Bank’s data and its information systems.

    Alpha Bank’s payment page in which card details are entered, bears a digital certificate to allow anybody to check its authenticity, i.e. to make sure that it is a genuine web page of the Alpha e-Commerce.

    The administration and management of the Alpha e-Commerce Service is carried out by an authorised person of TAXCODE SA who is provided with personal access codes (username and password).

    In case that the issuing bank supports the use of a password for the execution of on-line payments with a card and the cardholder has registered for this service and received such a code, the Alpha e-Commerce Service requires automatically that the cardholder (our Customer), types this password.

    The Alpha e-Commerce Service is fully compatible with the security protocols 3D-Secure of the international card organisations Visa Secure, Mastercard Identity Check, American Express SafeKey® and Diners ProtectBuy for secure online card payments.

    With this mechanism, after the customer has entered his card details, he will be asked to enter the 3D-Secure code in order for the bank to authenticate the card holder. The procedure of the authenticity is made by the card issuer bank. Then the customer returns to the webpage of the transaction in order to finish it.

    PayPal

    PayPal Holdings, Inc. is an American multinational financial technology company operating an online payments system in the majority of countries that support online money transfers and serves as an electronic alternative to traditional paper methods such as checks and money orders. The company operates as a payment processor for online vendors, auction sites and many other commercial users, for which it charges a fee. PayPal's Buyer Protection program allows you to be reimbursed for the full purchase price of the item, as well as the original shipping cost you paid, if any, in the event that you do not receive the item from the seller, or when you receive the item and it does not agree with your order.
