We respect your privacy and order information security.

Secure credit/debit card details

Your credit/debit card details do not go to the shinfin.com website. Instead, the credit/debit card details that you enter on the payment page are first encrypted in your own computer browser, using the international SSL security standard. Then they go direct from your computer browser to the secure eWAY payment gateway for bank processing. So your encrypted credit/debit card details completely bypass the shinfin.com website. This is fully compliant with PCI DSS 2.0 (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard).
