Yes! You’ll notice we don’t have a little green padlock next to our url as with banks. The reason is because we make use of a third party, called Payfast to handle our transactions.

Once you’ve selected your products and checked out, you’ll be taken to Payfast to make payment. After payment, you’ll be directed straight back to our site – no mess, no fuss!

  • 3D Secure is in place for all credit card transactions over R1000.

  • Yoco runs penetration testing on their system on a weekly basis to look for vulnerabilities. They are only required to do it once every three months, but they run it every week.
  • Yoco’s entire site, blog and help site are served off secure servers, making it harder to perpetrate phishing attacks.
