Secure payment

VISA or MASTERCARD credit card

We guarantee that each of the transactions made in groupsd.es is 100% secure. All operations involving the transmission of personal or banking data are performed using a secure environment. groupsd.es uses a server based on standard SSL (Secure Socked Layer) security technology. All the information that transmits encrypted travel through the network.

Likewise, the data on your credit card is not recorded in any database but goes directly to the POS (Bank Point of Sale Terminal).

We also inform you that in an effort to provide greater security to credit card owners, we have incorporated in our payment gateway the secure payment system called CES (Secure Electronic Commerce). In this way, if you are a holder of a “securized” card you can always make payments by VISA or MASTERCARD card in our store.
When paying by VISA or MASTERCARD card, you will always be asked for the following data: the card number, the expiration date, and a Validation Code that matches the last 3 figures of the number printed in italics on the back of your VISA or MASTERCARD card, thus offering more guarantees about the security of the transaction.

What is Verified by Visa and Mastercard Secure Code?
CES (Secure Electronic Commerce)

CES is a system to secure Internet transactions promoted by Visa International and Mastercard among others. The main purpose is to give greater security to both the Internet user and the merchants who sell through the Network by authenticating the buyer as the legitimate cardholder that he is using.

In practice, when paying with a “securized” VISA or MASTERCARD card, you will be asked, in addition to the number and expiration date, a personal key for exclusive use for Internet purchases that unequivocally identifies you as its owner. In this way, no one will be able to make a purchase on the Internet if they do not know this key. You can distinguish whether the Secure E-Commerce protocol is activated by the VISA “Verified by VISA” and Mastercard “Mastercard Secure Code” logos.

If you have not yet received a personal key for exclusive use for payments on the Internet, we advise you to ask your financial institution to adhere your cards to the Secure Electronic Commerce service. To do this you can contact your bank or if you are an electronic banking customer you can order it directly.

PayPal

PayPal is an electronic payment system similar to the VISA or Mastercard systems, with the advantage over the rest of electronic payment systems that it is not necessary to enter the card data, since Paypal acts as a gateway between your usual bank and the trade. PayPal is commonly used by individuals from all over the world to carry out their personal transactions.

PayPal is more oriented to Internet payments and has control mechanisms that make it a safer option compared to other payment systems. It has direct support for its users in cases of fraud and scam that protect individuals and companies.
