We take credit card security extremely seriously and always endeavour to provide a safe and secure platform on which to conduct Online transactions.

To make sure you are accessing a secure server, check that the URL starts with HTTPS rather than HTTP and look for the unbroken key or closed lock symbol located generally either at the bottom left or top right of your browser window.
For payments by credit card we accept only Visa and MasterCard through Verified by Visa© and securecode© respectively. As a result, at Pillow Talk we only receive an authorisation code which is unique and not reusable and no credit card details are provided to us or held by us post transaction.
