Credit Card Payment
South Africa Online ® is proud to offer our clients the seamless convenience of a secure Online Credit Card Payment Platform that is safe and easy to use. We use 3D-Secure - a payment system created by MasterCard & Visa - which safeguards your personal information and banking details.
3D-Secure gives you an extra level of protection against unauthorised card use when making online purchases. South Africa Online does not access nor store your credit card details; payments are processed by the credit card acquirer and issuing bank in a secure environment.
3D-Secure Protects Your Identity
Visa/Mastercard sends your credit card information via a highly encrypted transmission, to be stored on a secure server, behind a powerful firewall. 3D-Secure verifies your identity before accepting your payment. All encryption is compliant with international standards and the payment gateway which we use to process your card details is completely secure and verified by Thawte (www.thawte.com).

After you register, you can use the security code for all your online transactions.

Payment may be made via Bank Transfer in any of our business accounts as per your invoice. We currently offer you the convenience to pay into our currency account - ZAR (South African Rand)
Foreign Electronic Bank Transfers may take between 2-3 working days to clear. When making a bank transfer please inform and instruct your bank that the invoice amount must equal the funds clearing into South Africa Online's bank account and that all nominal bank charges are for your account.
