Security on line

As a Payment Service Provider, thousands of businesses outsource their transaction security to us. It is our top priority to ensure that transaction data is kept secure at all times.

All transaction information passed between merchant sites and the Protx VSP Systems is encrypted using 128-bit SSL certificates. No cardholder information is ever passed unencrypted and any messages sent to your servers from Protx are signed using MD5 hashing to prevent tampering. You can be completely secure in the knowledge that nothing you pass to the Protx servers can be examined, used or modified by any third parties attempting to gain access to sensitive information.

Once on our systems, all sensitive data is secured using the same internationally recognised 256-bit encryption standards used by, among others, the US Government. The encryption keys are held on state-of-the-art, tamper proof systems in the same family as those used to secure VeriSign's Global Root certificate, making them all but impossible to extract. The data we hold is extremely secure and we are regularly audited by the banks and banking authorities to ensure it remains so.

Protx has multiple private links into the banking network that are completely separate from the Internet and which do not cross any publicly accessible networks. Any cardholder information sent to the banks and any authorisation message coming back is secure and cannot be tampered with.

No individuals within Protx are able to decrypt transaction information or cardholder data. Our systems only allow access to our most senior staff and only in extenuating circumstances (such as investigations of Card Fraud by the Police). Your transaction information and customer card information is secure even from our own employees because our systems never display the full card numbers, even on administration screens

None of the customers who have shopped on line with Furnishings4you have reported fraudulent use of a credit or debit card as a result of purchases made with us. The reason shopping with us is so safe is that our secure server software encrypts your credit or debit card number and converts it into bits of code that are then securely transmitted over the Internet. We are so confident about the transaction security we offer on our site, that we back every purchase with a security guarantee. In the extremely unlikely event of unauthorised use of your credit or debit card, most banks and card issuers either cover all the charges that result from unauthorised use of your credit or debit card, or may limit your liability to just £50. If your bank or card issuer does hold you liable for any of the £50, furnishings4you will cover the entire liability to you, up to the full £50. Furnishings4you will cover this liability only if the unauthorised use of your credit or debit card, resulted, through no fault of your own, from purchases made at furnishings4you while using the secure server. If you still prefer not to send your credit or debit card number over the Internet you can Call us on 01625 668 900, so that further payment measures can be discussed, Happy shopping.
