3D Secure/verification process - for your benefit and security.    

 

Due to the volume of internet trade growing at a phenomenal rate over the past years; some criminal elements are taking advantage of this growth to target websites with stolen card details. It is now more vital than ever, for you as a customer, to protect your transaction against this increased risk of fraud.

Created by the card payments industry and made compulsory from 2010, 3-D Secure is a security feature which ensures that payments using certain credit and debit cards are authenticated by the card holder with their bank at the time of the transaction with Green Bear UK Limited.

3-D Secure is the common name for the technology behind MasterCard SecureCode (MSC). If your card is enrolled with 3-D Secure or verification, during the payment flow you will be prompted by your bank to enter a password and secure details to verify that the transaction is authorised by you, the card owner before completion. Green Bear has been implementing 3D Secure since January 2009 for the protection and security of its customers as directed by the banks portal.

We aim to dispatch orders received and paid for within 48 hours; at peak times, holiday times and in the run up to Christmas, this may be extended to 7 working days due to the volume of orders or being dispatched from our warehouse in the Netherlands or here in the UK. We will notify you by email in this event. All packages are sent recorded and are tracked.
