Look for the Padlock at the bottom of your browser!

A website is secure if there is a padlock at the bottom of your browser. In order to continue to Online Payments your browser must support high encryption (this ensures that your payment is secure).

Please check that your current connection is at least 128 bits. To check, please read the following instructions for Internet Explorer and Netscape

Via Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer

Go to 'Help' and select 'About Internet Explorer'. Read the value of 'Cipher Strength'. If it is less than 128 bits please download the Internet Explorer High Encryption pack, this should take approximately 3 minutes to download from the Microsoft website follow the installation instructions on the Microsoft Website.
Via Netscape

Netscape Navigator

Click on the Security Padlock in the right-hand corner of your browser.
