Pay Online computer mouse Online Payments - Is it Safe?

Moray Council has used industry-standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology to provide 128-bit encryption of all personal and card details.  This means all your personal and card details are protected by 128-bit encryption during transmission over the Internet, providing, for practical purposes, the most effective security that is available for the information you have transmitted to us.

To further emphasise the security of our Online Payments webpage to its users, it is certified by Thawte, the global SSL certification authority, as a trusted site; Thawte’s icon is displayed on the bottom left-hand corner of the webpage and the security of the page can be tested in at any time by clicking on this icon - Thawte will then provide a response which confirms the webpage’s security.

The most recent web browsers support Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, and to ensure the security of the card details that you provide to us, and we would suggest using an Internet browser of at least Internet Explorer 5.5 (or equivalent), when using the Council’s Online Payments webpage.

It is easy to check your Internet browser’s strength.  When you access Online Payments webpage to make a payment, it should tell you that it is ‘SSL Secured (128 bit)’, which can be verified by placing your mouse’s pointer over the ‘padlock’ icon usually found in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.
