Q.Visa - Card-not-present security. For transactions over the phone & internet.
A.When a Visa card is not present during a transaction, we make use of various card verification services to authenticate and protect the transaction. Card-not-present (CNP) transactions take place in many situations, such as e-commerce, mobile commerce and mail order/telephone order. Visa cards are ideal for such payments, offering flexibility, ease of use and convenience. As with all forms of Visa payments, security is a crucial part of its success. We have three solutions to authenticate such transactions: Card Verification Value 2 (CVV2) Often referred to as the ‘card security code’. This is the three-digit security code on the reverse of every Visa card – either on, or to the right of, the signature panel. Verified by Visa This is our e-commerce security solution. It is a password-protected identity checking system that has been designed to counter online fraud. Address Verification Service (AVS) This system verifies a cardholder’s billing address. It is currently only used by merchants in the UK. To learn more about Visa's online security go to: http://www.visaeurope.com/aboutvisa/security/paymentsecurity/cardnotpresentsecurity.jsp

Q.How this company was formed.
A.I have always been in THE retail game LITERALLY (virtually) as my parents came from THE midlands to DONCASTER in the late 60s and in 1971 my father managed to save enough money to set up his own business retailing outerwear & fashion clothing on the markets in & around Yorkshire/Lincolnshire & Nottinghamshire (HE IS STILL TRADING TO DATE@FANTASY ISLAND - EAST GATE MARKET INGOLDMELLS NEAR SKEGNESS EAST LINCOLNSHIRE (UK) HIS IS THE UNIT FULL OF JACKETS, COATS & EVERY THING OUTER WEAR ARTIC STORM, MOUNTAIN PASS & LOTS OF RAJAN'S GEAR). As I came of age we expanded the market trading business and I got a nice blue van to do my own markets, I also had a taste of the Showman’s circuit where I attended MANY SHOWS THROUGHOUT THE UK a few examples TRUCKFEST, FIGHTERMEET, RIPSPEED, many horse dressage & country fairs, the 1st being CLUMBERPARK. We also attended fashion week @ the NEC Birmingham where we traded as "Prerogative Promotions" retailing the latest in fashion & style clothing 4 men and a new product called FOUREYEZ contact LENSES (4 Fashion & Image use only www.foureyez.com/). Prerogative Promotions are the official merchandiser for JEEPFEST. The last show I attended was BIGGINHILL AIRSHOW (that is 4 now). I observed all around me, I watched others GROW a lot faster than us and also saw some of them go to the WALL. HOWEVER MY FATHER AND HIS FAMILY CARRIED ON SLOW & STEADY, and after the season @Fantasy Island in 1996 I managed to secure my 1st short term shop in ALHAMBRA SHOPPING CENTRE (now known as the MALL) BARNSLEY I have since had several shops in Barnsley, Doncaster, Sutton-in-Ashfield & Scunthorpe. As time went on I learned that business GOES UP & THEN DOWN and to survive in the retail game you have to constantly move forward. BY 2005 I had-HAD ENOUGH of the Rollercoaster ride it was heading down AGAIN. It was by CHANCE I WENT ON THE SUPER-HI-WAY and stumbled across the replacement remote control MARKET. From here I made a decision to start a new business, and I set about doing a little research and sourced out some good help in order to build me a website this was completed in March 2006 and the site went live. The business has grown steadily and is now well established.
