Additional card security
We have implemented the VeriSecure fraud protection measure as part of a nationwide programme to protect users paying via the Internet - this is the Internet equivalent of Chip & PIN. If you have registered your card with your card provider you will be asked to enter the password you have previously chosen and registered with them after entering your card details on our payment website.
Data stored and transmitted to the council is certified completely secure, confidential and your details will not be used for any other purpose.
If you are in a public place we strongly advise you to make sure you are not overlooked as you enter your details to prevent them from being misused by somebody else.
