Payment Security

Our payment services are provided by BOI – Bank Of Ireland. When you enter your payment details on our website you are actually providing them direct to the Bank Of Ireland, and Portadown Oil Supplies never has access to your card number. This ensures the highest level of payment security for you.
All online Portadown Oil Supplies transactions involving card payments are protected for your security using 128-bit SSL encryption. This means that the information you enter into your browser is encrypted before being sent over the internet, and it will be useless to anyone intercepting it.
You can check that you are shopping in a secure environment by looking for the padlock icon in your internet browser. In addition, website pages protected using SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption always begin with “https” rather than “http”. Check this in the address bar near the top of your screen.
Proof of PCI compliance is required of all merchants who accept credit cards. BOI/Portadown Oil Supplies are tested frequently to ensure that high security standards are maintained.
