Payments. Payment by bank card online Our website is connected to Internet acquiring, and you can pay for the Service with a Visa or Mastercard bank card. After confirming the selected Product or service, a secure window will open with the payment page of the CloudPayments processing center, where you need to enter your bank card details. For additional authentication of the cardholder, the 3-D Secure protocol is used. If your issuing Bank supports this technology, you will be redirected to its server for additional identification. For information about the rules and methods of additional identification, check with the Bank that issued you a bank card. The online payment service is carried out in accordance with the rules of the International payment systems Visa and MasterCard on the principles of confidentiality and security of payment, for this purpose the most up-to-date methods of verification, encryption and data transmission over closed communication channels are used. The bank card data is entered in a secure window on the CloudPayments payment page. In the fields on the payment page, you need to enter the card number, the name of the cardholder, the expiration date of the card, a three-digit security code (CVV2 for VISA or CVC2 for MasterCard). All the necessary data is displayed on the surface of the bank card. CVV2/CVC2 is a three—digit security code located on the back of the card. Then, in the same window, your issuing bank's page will open to enter a 3-D Secure code. If you don't have a static 3-D Secure configured, it will be sent to your phone number via SMS. If the 3-D Secure code has not come to you, then you should contact your issuing bank. 3-D Secure is the most modern technology for ensuring the security of card payments on the Internet. Allows you to uniquely identify the authenticity of the cardholder performing the operation and minimize the risk of fraudulent card transactions. Security Guarantees CloudPayments Processing Center protects and processes your bank card data according to the PCI DSS 3.0 security standard. Information is transferred to the payment gateway using SSL encryption technology. Further transmission of information takes place over closed banking networks with the highest level of reliability. CloudPayments does not transfer your card data to us or other third parties. For additional authentication of the cardholder, the 3-D Secure protocol is used. If you have any questions about the payment, you can contact the customer support service of the payment service by email support@cloudpayments.kz . Online Payment Security The personal information you provide (name, address, phone number, e-mail, credit card number) is confidential and not subject to disclosure.

All transactions with payment cards take place in accordance with the requirements of VISA International, MasterCard and other payment systems. When transmitting information, specialized security technologies for online card payments are used, data processing is carried out on a secure high-tech server of a processing company. Payment by payment cards is safe because: The authorization system guarantees the buyer that the payment details of his payment card (number, expiration date, CVV2/CVC2) will not fall into the hands of fraudsters, since these data are not stored on the authorization server and cannot be stolen. The buyer enters his payment data directly in the CloudPayments authorization system, and not on the website of the online store, therefore, the payment details of the buyer's card will not be available to third parties.
