Payment Security
Payment Security:
Mstore online partners with VCS to give you a safe and convenient shopping experience.
By partnering with VCS, we do not store any of your personal payment information on the Mstore online Website.
About VCS:
Virtual Card Services was established in 1996 to offer a solution to the mail order market that found conventional methods of securing large volumes of credit card payment cumbersome and costly.
With more than 50 years’ collective experience in developing and implementing credit, debit and smart card processing systems for a major card issuer in South Africa, VCS was quick to identify the niche presented in providing a solution that exactly meets these needs.
The ‘Virtual Vendor’ system, which was developed out of this need, interacts with a bank’s existing legacy systems, while meeting the vendor’s demand for an automated, electronic transaction system. The business rapidly grew from this point by expanding the scope of services to all organisations requiring automated, high volume and secure credit card payment processing.
The company’s client list today boasts a cross-section of businesses that have realised the benefits of automating their credit card transactions.

3D Secure:
3D Secure is an extra layer of security introduced by all major banks, allowing for that extra confidence when using your credit card for online transactions.
For online transactions over R100 you'll be asked to enter your 3D Secure password (different from the PIN), which is called Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode by the respective credit card companies.
You have to register for 3D Secure with your card issuing bank, and can be set up either as a password of your choice or a one-time-password that will be sent to you by email/SMS.
Please click on your bank logo for information on how to set up 3D Secure with your bank, if you haven't already done so.
