At Fonez we want to ensure that your online purchases are as secure as possible so we use SagePay 3D Secure payment gateway. 3D Secure is a free and automatic online security service that has been created to help guard your credit/debit card details against unauthorised use online. 3D Secure works by creating a password that acts as a unique online identifier. You then use your 3D Secure password to validate transactions on our online store. This helps protect you from unauthorised use when spending online.
