  • Security Information

    The Pawn Wine Co. uses SecurePay’s Internet Payment Gateway to provide a secure environment for the authorisation of credit card transactions over the Internet.

    A client’s credit card details are not stored anywhere on the Internet and the only company who has access to this data is the merchant’s bank.
