This Web site guarantees the maximum security level in purchase making. Transactions are controlled by Monte dei Paschi di Siena, so that your credit card data is encrypted while being communicated from your computer to the Banking Payment Gateway. This ensures that no one is able to intercept and use your data over again. In order to create this encrypted channel, the Banking Payment Gateway uses an SSL3 certificate at 128 bit, released by Verisign, the leading world authority in certification.

This site has also agreements with Verisign by Visa and with Secure Code, two security protocols respectively developed by Visa and Master Card. At payment time, if your credit card is certified by one of these two international banking circuits, you will be prompted to insert your password; by using this system, your bank is able to identify you in an unequivocal manner.

Nevertheless, in the event that you do not have a certified credit card available, you can still make your purchase and the security criteria specified above apply.
Should you need further information on credit cards certified by Visa or by Master Card for purchases on line, you should contact your bank or visit one of these sites:
