Security

- The security of your information, transactions, and money is the core of PayPals business.

- PayPals industry-leading loss rate is less than 0.5%. They use industry-leading fraud models, address verification and card verification checks, 128-bit SSL, and powerful encryption.

- PayPal automatically encrypts your confidential information in transit from your computer to theirs using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits (the highest level commercially available). Their server checks to see that you're using an approved browser - one that uses SSL 3.0 or higher.
Once your information reaches PayPal, it resides on a server that is heavily guarded both physically and electronically. Their servers sit behind an electronic firewall and are not directly connected to the internet, so your private information is available only to authorized computers.

- PayPal uses proprietary risk models help detect and predict fraudulent transactions.

- Paypal uses industry-recognized AVS and CVV2 checks to thwart identity theft.

- More than 1,000 employees are dedicated to making PayPal safe.

We save so you save

- PayPal helps us reduce our costs and we pass those savings on to you.

- Implementing an online payment system can be very expensive and has many inherent security risks. By partnering with an industry leader we are able to cut down on the cost of creating and operating our payment center.

- PayPal doesn't charge the extra fees that might be associated with a merchant account. Standard merchant accounts charge setup fees, monthly fees, and gateway fees (a gateway is a "middleman" that is used for Credit Card authorizations). All of these fees are on top of the standard transaction fees associated with using Credit Cards. With PayPal, we only pay the per transaction fees.
