Does PayFast save my credit card details?
Payfast saves most of your credit card details to make it faster for you to pay in future. They never save the CVV code (security code) though, which will need to be entered for every purchase. Saving your details actually protects your card from fraudulant use as in addition to the CVV code, someone would also need to know your email address and PayFast password in order to use your card! So someone stealing your card will not be able to use it at any PayFast merchant! And don't worry, they encrypt all communications back & from their server and also encrypt all sensitive information (like your card details) in their database.
Payfast uses only 3D Secure / Verified by Visa / Mastercard Securecode.
3D Secure is a technical standard created by Visa and MasterCard to further secure CNP (Cardholder Not Present) transactions over the Internet.
Mastercard brands their system as 'MasterCard SecureCode' and Visa call theirs 'Verified by Visa'.
3D Secure protects your credit card against unauthorised use when you shop online. This simple service enables you to validate transactions you make over the internet by supplying a personal code. It also helps protect your account from fraudulent use by an unauthorised individual.
